A student of Perce's Kenpo Karate Studio in Fillmore earns his 1st degree black belt. Student Jessie Stuthers tested on December 11,2010 in Oxnard at the Flores Brothers Kenpo Karate Studio. Jessie is the first adult to achieve a black belt at Perce's Kenpo Karate.

The testing lasted for over two hours and had over eleven black belt judges. This was Jessie's best test. "He has put a lot of time and effort into his training," said Paul Perce owner and head instructor of Perce's Kenpo Karate. Jessie has been training at Perce's Kenpo Karate for over 14 years. He has a busy schedule with work, family and church. His dedication as a student has shown perseverance. Throughout the years Jessie has exhibited the 6 Principles of Black Belt: modesty, courtesy, integrity, self-control, perseverance, and indomitable spirit. Jessie also received a promotion to instructor at the testing. He will continue to teach and demonstrate for the karate studio. He is looking forward to training more and harder for his 2nd degree black belt test.
