On Sunday, January 26th, 2008 Daniel and I braved a wicked winter storm and headed into Edmonton to the Arashi Do South Dojo for his Yellow Muay Tai Grading. He is required to fight two rounds with different people and complete pad drills in order to pass. Daniel was the only kid there under the age of 17. He was initially nervous when the "pick a partner" started, but calmed himself down and carried on. We are so very proud of him and how he is learning to handle himself in stressful situations.
Sensei Chris Bonde is on the left hand side and a Muay Tai black belt. He asked Daniel if he had any fun when we were leaving and Daniel took his time, looked at the sky and said "Yes.". Sensei Chris said " Well that is good. I never know with you Daniel because you never smile." Hard to smile when you are sure the guy next to you is going to kick your butt!!
