The United Karate Studios Nation wide pride themselves on the high moral character and Christian ethics required by all students and instructors within the system. One example of this is the requirement that all students quote from memory Psalm One on their black belt test, and on every dan rank test thereafter.

Pictured is Melodie Findley with her dad Lamar (right).  Lamar has since made his black belt and they both follow in the footsteps of the youngest findley, Jodi.

Edward Lacey is pictured with his nephew Adam Land following Adam's promotion to second gup red belt.  Edward teaches at UKS Ellijay.

Having one child make black belt is amazing enough... but five?!?!  Pictured are Josh, Ashley, Jocelyn, Meredith, and Mallory Stallings.  Dad is a third gup.

Harmony practices the first set of prearranged fighting with her husband Dwight.

"Blessed is the man that does not walk in the council of the wicked, or stand in the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.  But his delight is in the Law of the Lord and on this Law he meditates day and night.  He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which bears fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither.  Whatever he does will prosper.  Not so the wicked!  They are like the chaff that the winds blow away.  Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, not the sinners in the assembly of the righteous.  For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish."  The First Psalm  NIV.
