stephen went for his first ever grading today, He's been training now for just under two months.

I was speaking to instructor the other week about it and he told me that he had added an extra grading to the beginning of a tkd career in order to build confidence in the younger ones, so they get white belt/orange stripe before they get their white belt/yellow stripe.

Well stephen has followed in his mother's footsteps (Well, sort of, anyway, I went straight to yellow belt, when I did it, but dont want to pile too much pressure on the poor lad) and double-graded, so he is now a fully fledged yellow stripe!

how proud am I?!

Congratulations to you and your son.  You have every reason to be proud and so does you son!  Well played...

thanks! will pass on your congratulations :) Stephen is bouncing off the walls he's so thrilled, he keeps showing his certificate to just about everyone he sees, and I think everyone at St Thomas' school is getting really sick of hearing about it by now, lol

Congratulations!!  Inch by inch, the job's a sinch, and brick by brick, the house is built.  One his way to yellow in the immediate picture, but on to black in the big picture!

Go Stephen!!!!

Daniel

daniel, I do hope you realise that since I let stephen read your post his head is now too big to get through the door,

thanks for your reply, joking aside, he really appreciated it
