Default 8 yr old black belt

Howdy Doody all.....

As some of you will already know,my eldest son (callum 8 has been doing martial arts for almost 4yrs now.
Well yesterday was his big day (black belt grading day)where myself his mum & younger brother had to take him to Doncaster to Premier Martial A rts headquaters.
The grading itself was just over 2hrs of pain & sweat & i'm pleased/proud to say he passed & is now a 1st dan black belt.
Before the grading started he got to meet Danny Ball who for anyone who remembers is one half of the martial Arts duo STRIKE who were on Britains Got Talent last year,he is an instructor there & was also helping to grade the students,so as well as passing he got his photo taken with him before the grading started.



So all in all i'm a very proud dad & have one absolutely made up little boy.....
Here is a clip when he did havens got talent last year....

Thanks for reading.....regards Robo

Excellent! Well done to Callum and well donr to you to encourage him to follow a martial art. What most non martial artists dont understand is that by trainign the body you are also strengthening the mind.

Personaly i do have reservations about children being given a black belt in any martial art but thats a completely different discussion.

I'm an advocate of Aikido myself as it has a very different attitude to most other arts that rely on power and striking and kicking well.

Aww good on him, you must be very proud

Its nice to see that some kids are active rather than sitting in front of a TV/Xbox/playstation all day..!
