Several youth at Peaceful Warrior Martial Arts, 2415-1 Commerce St. in Marble Falls, took their belt tests Jan. 22. Owner and lead instructor Daniel Adams reminded students and their parents that each child must earn the belt — he doesn’t just give them away. Adams and the other instructors put the youth through several exercises and tests during the examination. Go to www.texaswarriormma.com or call (512) 755-1755 for more information on classes for youth through adult.
