Chase Walden and Jody Morgan: Black Belt Bound!

June 3rd, 2010

After 4 plus years of hard work and dedication, Coaches Chase Walden and Jody Morgan test for their Black Belt in Muay Thai under Kru Buck Grant. Chase and Jody started as white belts together under Kru Buck, and though they have taken drastically different paths to reach their Black Belt, both have arrived at this shining moment at the same time.

Come experience their crowning achievement, along with Hybrid’s other shining students during Muay Thai Testing tomorrow. Our Kids Martial Artists will test at 6pm, followed by adults and then the Black Belt Testing will serve as the finale of an outstanding event. Bring your family and friends to our Open House Muay Thai celebration as Jody and Chase earn their Black Belt!
