Biography

My name is Becky Byars. 

​

I began my martial arts training on May 7, 1998. My goal was to learn self defense. But I learned so much more. My training quickly became one of my favorite things to do. By the time I was a green belt, I was spending every free minute at Gary Steele Karate Studio, working on the leadership team. 

​

As a brown belt, I was promoted to Assistant Instructor. I loved teaching kids what I knew! I received my First Degree Black Belt October 25, 2002. I continued to train every single day, including the weekend. I earned my second degree with the goal to earn my third. My training had turned into a full time career and I loved every minute of it! By the time I reached my third degree black belt, I decided I wanted to be the first woman to ever reach her fourth degree black belt at Gary Steele Karate Studio.

​

Discipline, perseverance, and hard work helped me earn my Fourth Degree Black Belt on June 30, 2007.
