Brother and sister Nick and Emily Huber of Maple Valley recently earned Tae Kwon Do black belts. Nick and Emily, honor roll students at Cedar River Middle School, have been participating in the Tahoma Learning Community program for more

than three years.

To prepare for their test, they learned forms, sparring, Korean terminology and board breaking. They also competed in tournaments held in Portland, Oregon,

and Renton.

Their instructor, Master Nancy Henkel, is a resident of Maple Valley. Henkel, along with her husband, own and operate Kim’s Tae Kwon Do in the Renton Highlands.

Nick and Emily are the first students from the TLC program in Maple Valley to earn their Black Belts.
