Jack’s karate grading today, he went from brown belt to brown black and he passed which means he’s now one level below becoming a black belt. He has 12-18 months to train for it but I am very proud of him to achieve the level he’s got to at such a young age. We know what he can do and it’s great he’s realising his potential
He looked good in his katas and his routines and especially when it came to sparring he was excellent. Something he really enjoys and getting stuck in. He’s very quick and hard to get to grips with but also any wrestling he’s right on it and very strong as well. He’s quite fearless.
When he and Ben Murray went against each other it really was quite competitive and it was good to watch. It wasn’t nasty but there was an edge that the other sparring didn’t have. It impressed people watching and made me & Tash feel even more proud than we already were
Lewis got involved as well, it was nice seeing him involved as a Grading Instructor but he dealt with a few fights and it was good seeing his control and authority and being better than any other student there. Had his own desk as an instructor and it was great watching him grade the boys, handing out the belts and talking to them which is exactly what we’ve had to watch him receive when grading. Made him look older and must be nice to Mary/Rob to see him mature like that
I should put together a compilation of their gradings over the years as
As a treat we then went to Pizza Mama Mia as this is what Jack’s been desperate for and been promised it for a while – he was delighted. A nice way to finish the weekend off.
