Master Hardy one of only 12 Female 7th Degree Black Belts in Tae Kwon Do.

Here is an excerpt from a speeach given at the 21st Annual Celebration of New Hamsphire Martial Arts Academy, by Mr. Rick Sales:

Some Tae Kwon Do facts

·     Over 30 million people practice Taekwondo in more than 156 countries.

·     On average, 1 in 1,000 students make it to 1st Dan

·     There have been approximately 15,000 people who have reached the rank of 7th Dan
