Determination breeds strength

My eldest son has been doing karate for about 3 years now and it is his life. In June he had a major setback with cutting open the bottom of his foot, so had a lot of time off to recover and heal. He has recently returned to training and last Friday helped with grading of lower ranked students. This is an honour extended to high grades, not only to help out the instructors, but also gives them some responsibility and gets them prepared for when they start teaching or open their own dojo. The photo in the scrap below, is of Daniel and the only adult to grade that night in the last fight of the night.

It is this strength and determination that I hope will carry him through the National championships on the weekend. I made this page using Oriental Pearl by Symphonie.
