LAYTON, Utah (KUTV) - Getting a black belt is no easy task. It takes years of hard work.
A woman with Down syndrome has become a fifth-degree black belt.

"I just really like it," she said. "I love it."
According to her master, Johnny Aranda, he has never met a fifth-degree black belt across the country with Down syndrome.
