Black belt

Our son, Aidan, was awarded his black belt in karate yesterday. He's ten years old, and has been attending the Tiger Schulmann karate school in Watchung, NJ since he was five. It's a great school with two wonderful mentors, Sensei Querido and Sensei Holland.

During the kickboxing part of his black belt test, five rounds of two minutes, Aidan had to fight a girl about his age. It was a great fight with both being very aggressive. Later Aidan told me he didn't want to fight the girl. When I asked him why, he said it was because he wanted her to get her black belt.

Well, they both got their black belts. I need to remember his words, because they are so kind.

Aidan matured a lot yesterday. He also said he had fun.
