To reflect on the process of a child earning his black belt is to reflect on his memories of his family.
From the time he was a toddler to the year he turned 11, how much support did his family give him in this favorite form of karate?
He came to our dojo last year from another branch and surprisingly had never won a match before.
Even so, his family continued to support him in his love of karate.
Not only did they never tell him that he was worthless unless he won, but they were also very happy that he had found a karate that he loved.
Not only did they never tell him that he was worthless unless he won, but they were also very happy that he had found a karate that he loved.
Now he has won several matches outside the dojo and has the right to participate in the East Japan Tournament.
In this dojo, he has learned how to love what he loves more and enjoy himself while making a difference.
He will be a great black belt!
