US Martial Arts Academy, Ltd Welcomes Our Newest Black Sashes, Dr. Zachary Dezman and his son, Thomas Dezman.

They completed their Black Sash requirements and tested to their first degree Black Sash on October 10, 2026. They demonstrated their knowledge of the Tien Shan Pai forms, chi-nahs and other techniques, broke boards, and performed a self-defense skit to show their skillful use of the techniques.

As is our custom, our admission fee was 2 canned or dried goods, staples, or $2.00 per attendee to be donated to a local, community food bank. We collected over 65 lbs of food.
