CONGRATULATIONS, MY LOVE...

9 years ago, my wife was supposed to take her Brown Belt test. I never wanted anyone in the dojo to think that anyone in my family was given anything, any easier because they were my family. So I made everything harder for my wife, and my children. Partially because I wanted them to go through the training and ranks the “old way”

We got married, and my first born, was a honeymoon baby, so we couldn’t do the test then. Then another child, then life kinda got in the way, and she wasn’t getting in the required “mat time.” We train a lot at home, and my wife is often my training partner for skills I’m still learning and practicing. She often teaches our children when I’m working, and they have extra energy that need focusing.  Needless to say her training and effort has been constant. You can’t live in my house and not train on some level, daily. 

In recent years, she helps me teach at the dojo, and even covers my classes, if needed, when something comes up last minute.  And, it makes me so happy to see how well received she is by the students in the dojo.  She’s got an awesome personality, and the perfect blend of “strict and fun” Instructor.  When she gives students pep talks, or coaches them, she has got a really amazing way about her.  It reminds me of some of the reasons why I fell in love with her. 

In our home, in our family, we are WARRIOR CLASS.  Just about everything we do in our home and in our family, is somehow influenced by the Bushido Code, the Way of the Warrior... respect, kindness, compassion, integrity, bravery, loyalty, humility, diligence... and a bit of “badassery.” 

Congratulations, my love on being an exemplary role model of all the we, as Warriors, parents, instructors, and business owners, stand for. The Brown Belt is long overdue. Now we set the goal for BLACK BELT. 
I love you, and I’m so proud of all that you are, and continue to become. 

Train Hard!!!
