Jack.  A name well known and spoken with respect in our karate school.  Jack was a long time member or our RCT (realistic combat training) classes, and it shows in the Dojo when its time for fighting in our Karate Program.   Jack is quiet by nature, preferring to let his strength and prowess voice volumes whenever he takes to the mats for any of our physical fighting classes in the adult karate program.  Both of his sons, Luke and John, are already also showing a gift and talent for sparring and ground fighting, not to mention taking after their dad personality wise by being focused, well liked and respectful.
     In this day and age, its nice to see a father who sets a great example for his children.  You can see the pride in their faces when they watch you work out, and its easy to see who is the idol in their lives.  Keep up the hard work Jack.  I think you are already ahead of most people who take martial arts because I think you already understand that the most important and fun thing is the "journey", and the enjoyment and physical fitness you derive from it.  Its that simple attitude that guarantees you a Black Belt down the road.
