My interest in martial arts began with my father who attained the rank of 2nd Dan in Karate.  Both he and my mother were always interested in how the do jang and students were doing.  After their passing, my uncle and aunt, Ted and Dianne Williamson of Guelph, Ontario, suggested that they would like to set up a memorial to my parents in recognition of their interest and support. 

Since most students have “Black Belt” as a goal, we thought it fitting that we recognize those who achieve this.  The plaque you see above was generously donated by my aunt and uncle in memory of Fred and Shirley Stoerig and the students of Fall River Taekwon-Do greatly appreciate this kind gesture. 

As each student achieves Black Belt their name, rank and grading date will be inscribed on the plaque and they will be able to take it home to display until the next person grades.
