Getting a black belt is a great achievement for anyone, but it meant a little more to 53-year-old Pam Whittington.
Her instructor mirrored her smile. After teaching her for six and a half years - step-by-step - he knew how much she deserved it.
Earning the grade gave her a new outlook on life, and it became a steadfast rock in a life that had been filled with hardships.
Three years into her training, her life was turned upside-down when she returned home after a martial arts seminar in Las Vegas and found her husband had committed suicide. Despite the unimaginable pain Whittington felt, she leaned on her martial arts training to get her through.
