Emery Hull: Martial Artist

Emery Hull has trained continuously in the forms of Martial Arts attaining the rank of black belt.
Martial Arts is a form of self-defense, which contains many branches including Kali, American Karate, Taekwondo, and BJJ. These forms of Martial Arts combine a mixture of punches and kicks that take a lifetime to master. Flower Mound Junior Emery Hull has practiced these self-defense forms, since the age of nine, attaining the rank of Black Belt with desires to become a master, a pinnacle that few attain.
Hull is in her seventh year of participating in Martial Arts.  She currently practices at the Legends Martial Arts dojo, while also teaching others interested in learning. A regular day at the dojo includes mat chats, warm ups, and different curriculums that help each student continue to improve in their crafts. These different activities are not only ways that students grow in their technique, but also as individuals in the world, such as a recent mat chat that centered around discipline.
On her journey to becoming a Black belt, Hull had to place her pride aside. The process to earn this rank is grueling, taking at least four years. After meeting prerequisites, testing for the rank is only available every six months. She trained for 1 ½ years having her technique ripped apart and rebuilding it until she was able to participate in the five-hour test. After obtaining the rank, she now stands on the other side, being able to help others who love karate improve their own craft, while also being a judge for the black belt test.
In her dojo, Hull looks up to those who helped her grow in unique ways such as the founder of her dojo Master Burleson. She also admires those women who have attained the rank of black belt, which including her makes a total of only five. She hopes to continue to inspire other young women, to continue to strive towards reaching this achievement.  
When asked about how she sees the Lord working in her life through Martial Arts she speaks about the need to be prepped not only physically, but also spiritually. “God has carried me plenty of times to the finish line.” She also details being able to share the gospel with those who come into the dojo after having hard days and even recalls praying over and with other members of the dojo. “It’s made me grow in dependence, while also becoming humbler which in return helps me become a better leader ministering to those around me.”
Thank you, Emery, for allowing us a view inside the world of Martial arts.
