Congratulations to Fusion's own Mr. Bryant Watkins!

Mr. Watkins was recently promoted to the prestigious rank of 4th Degree Black Belt. To earn this achievement, he traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas, to participate in Global Traditional Martial Arts (GTMA) high rank black belt testing during the GTMA Globals international event.

During testing, Mr. Watkins performed before and was evaluated by a distinguished panel of Masters and Grandmasters from around the world. Following his successful evaluation, his promotion to 4th Degree Black Belt was officially confirmed and awarded by Grandmaster G.K. Lee, one of the world's leading martial artists.

In addition to his successful promotion, Mr. Watkins also competed in the GTMA Globals International Tournament against accomplished black belts from across the country. He earned a Bronze Medal (3rd Place) in Traditional Weapons competition, an outstanding accomplishment at this level of competition.

Please join us in congratulating Mr. Watkins on these remarkable achievements. We are incredibly proud of his dedication, perseverance, and commitment to excellence!

Honoring Mr. Mike Harvey

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Mr. Mike Harvey after a courageous battle with cancer.

Many in our community knew him as Mr. Harvey. He was a dedicated martial artist, a teacher, a leader, and for a season, the owner of this school. He invested significant time and energy into Fusion Martial Arts, not only helping sustain it, but strengthening the culture that still defines us today.

Mr. Harvey trained hard. He believed in discipline, consistency, and doing things the right way. He did not cut corners. Whether he was working forms, drilling fundamentals, or pushing through conditioning, he approached training with focus and determination. He expected effort from his students because he demanded it from himself first.

At the same time, he had a big heart. He cared about his students beyond the mat. He encouraged them. He challenged them. He wanted them to grow, not just as martial artists, but as people. Those who trained under him felt both the intensity of his standards and the sincerity of his support.

Cancer was a difficult battle, but it never defined him. What defines Mr. Harvey is his commitment to his family, to the art, his loyalty to this school, and the impact he had on the students who walked through these doors.

Fusion Martial Arts is forever grateful for the role he played in the life of this school. On behalf of our entire Fusion Martial Arts community, we honor his dedication and the example he set. His fingerprints will continue to remain in the culture of discipline and heart that we continue to uphold.

We will carry that forward.

Rest in peace, Mr. Harvey. Your legacy lives on in every student who bows onto this mat with focus, respect, and determination.

(Bowing in Respect)
