On
that dark morning two weeks ago.
Jaden and I
woke up at 5 am to get him ready for the hardest challenge he has undertaken in his short life. The physical endurance portion of his black belt test. I have no photographic evidence at this time because parents were not allowed at this grueling 4 hour test, probably because I would have beat them up for working my baby so hard.
Jaden had been nervous for months to the point of making himself sick over this portion of the test, but he also had spent a lot of time preparing on his own, so I knew they couldn't throw anything at
him that he could not handle. I was actually excited for him to have proof of what he was actually capable of. He did not disappoint.
Jaden showed up at
ABK four hours later all smiles. They ran approximately 10 miles total, carried rocks, 1000 pus-ups, leg throws, and sit-ups. They ran stairs, did frog jumps, and multiple forms. Needless to say he was exhausted. The mantra was one more, and he succeeded. We are all so proud of him and not one of us had any doubt that he could accomplish this.
