WEEK ONE – Sam Murphy

Hi, my name is Sam Murphy, and I’m a 4th degree Black Belt at TM Martial Arts Academy. I began my martial arts journey when I was 24 years old, and I’ve been a student at TM Martial Arts Academy for nearly 20 years. Kids are not the only ones who benefit from martial arts training. Even as an adult, the lessons I’ve learned on and off the mat are priceless! I invite you to watch my video story to find out how!

STUDENT CHALLENGE: (Fill in the blank) On what date did Sam Murphy receive his 4th degree Black Belt? _____________________________ Write down the answer from this video, and submit it to your instructor at your next class to earn a 5-stripe!
