All’s Well That Ends Well

When last we’d checked in on the boy’s martial arts training, he’d ended up on the short end of the testing stick and hadn’t advanced to his next belt. My assessment at the time was that he would just have to suck it up and make sure he did what he had to to make sure he passed this month.

To the boy’s credit, that’s what he did although it wasn’t as easy as all that.

He tested with the head instructors this past week, and they took him aside and worked a little extra with him on his stances and his form in general. It must have paid off since he got the go ahead from them to proceed to the red-black level- the last level prior to becoming a junior apprentice.

He was all smiles tonight after his graduation, as well he should be.
