Black Belts Awarded

BLACK BELTS AWARDED - Several Amherst students were awarded black belts by Master Gorino's Pil-Sung Tae Kwon-Do this December in Amherst. Candidates are required to precisely complete Tae Kwon-Do forms, weapons demonstration, musical form, self-defense and wood breaking to the appropriate belt level. Upper black-belt level candidates must also include an impromptu "Gang Attack" self-defense strategy as a test requirement.
