Reports from recent courses by Sensei Andrews

A Story of Faith This little fellows name is Thomas and I would like to tell you about him as I have never witnessed so much courage and determination in one so young. I first met him whilst teaching in Holland, he was running as fast as any other child in the dojo. I kept looking at him with admiration as he was playing chase with the other children, falling on the floor, jumping straight up and continuing the chase. When the class started he and the other children lined up for the warm up. I was not sure if he would be able to do it, but this little boy proved me wrong. As we progressed through the various disciplines he continued to try his best. After the class had finished I asked his instructor if I could be personally introduced to this brave and courageous little person. I held his little arms and they were so warm with enthusiasm that I just wanted to hold him and cuddle him. I felt completely overcome with emotion. There are a lot of people in the world that feel sorry for themselves and think that society owes them something. Well not this little boy..... God Bless You Thomas
