We have a new black belt at the dojo! Congratulations to Alexander Knickle for his recent belt promotion.
Alexander first started his journey with us at the age of 11, and now just before his 18th birthday, he has achieved one of his major goals – earning his black belt. We are proud of Alexander for his commitment, perseverance, and dedication. Alexander trains consistently 4+ days per week, and his effort has paid off. The journey isn’t always easy, but often the good things in life never come easy.
Alexander has also had success in competition, winning a national title at his first national event. He has grown stronger, faster, and more confident in all areas of his life. In addition to being a successful martial artist, Alexander is an accomplished pianist. Furthermore, he is an excellent student and has recently been accepted into SFU to continue his education.
Great work Alexander. You embody our motto, “kindness, courage, and excellence”. Keep leading by example!
