USCMAAI Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 My son just earned promotion to 1st dan. His 16th birthday was April 23rd, and he tested under an affilated instructor. He "maxed out" on points and passed with flying colors! I am very proud of him! "Not every tiger will pounce, but every tiger may!"K.MabonUnited States Combat Martial Arts Association International

RealWingChunKuen Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Congratulations to him and to you. Make sure that he knows that the black belt is only the beginning and that he is at the start of a rich and fulfilling journey that will last him a lifetime.By the way, what style of karate does he practice? Fighting arts that were not effective for fighting and selfdefense, never lasted long enough in martial arts history, to gain the Traditional Martial Arts - TMA - status.
