They had been practicing their roller blades at home to get used to the motion, so it was a bit easier to get them started on the snow. It was the first time for the boys to see real snow.We went with another family and stayed at Thredbo.It also happened to be on my fiftieth. 13.

They encouraged me to come along as I will be up for the next big grading soon and it would be a great introduction to some of the best instructors and karateka's in the country.I also found the official lineage of our style listed on one of the boards. 6.

This time the boys and Kim graded to their first brown belts and I graded to my third brown belt.We were supposed to have graded about a month ago, but because of Kims dad's funeral we had to postpone it for a month.It therefore turned out to be just a mini grading with just the four of us as a family.Now it will be quite a while before any of us are grading again. The boys need to get a fair bit stronger before grading for the next belt based on the feedback. I will need to start working towards the black, so Kim will probably be the next one grading towards the end of the year.\\ 25. April 2022 20:04 by Rene Pallesen 0 Comments Camping Lake Lyell 25.
