Last weekend we saw a post on Facebook from the mum of one of our junior students. This is what it said..
I have had a private text from school asking me to attend assembly tomorrow and not to say anything to Alex….. Can’t help thinking whats he done or not done?!
Sounds ominous, but then the next day’s update:
He got a Gold Star!! For being kind, working hard, making his teacher laugh every day with his sense of humour and growing in confidence daily. Result was I cried but am so very, very proud of him
Excellent, thats great to hear! Even better when she followed that up with:
I think the Ilyokwan Black Belt Academy has been the greatest thing helping his confidence. Thank you Richard Olpin!!!
This is the real power of personal development through the martial arts programmes we teach here at the Academy.
It’s not just about punching and kicking, it’s about developing real life skills. Here we see a child developing into a kind, hard-working and confident young man and his mum attributes those improvements directly to the positive start he’s gained from his training here at the Academy.
Well done Alex, we’re so pleased, and very proud of you!
