11/02/09 - A Family of Black Belts
A father and his two teenage children recently gained their Karate
black belts. Stuart, Rebecca & Matthew Wood from Loughborough
were all awarded their black belt after a grading by Sensei Akita,
head of the Shotokan Karate Association.
The three have trained with LELA Shotokan Karate club, under the
instruction of Terry Corbett (4th Dan) for the past five-and-a-half
years.

" It was a great achievement for us all for different
reasons " said Stuart (49). " I don't think
any of us thought we'd get this far when we started training.
I was recovering from major surgery to both Achilles tendons
and Matthew and Becky were both very placid, perhaps not what
people would think of as the best recipe for success! "
Matthew (13) said, " We really want to thank our Sensei
Terry Corbett for his patience, encouragement and for giving
us the extra push over the years. We are also grateful to everyone
at the Loughborough and Long Eaton clubs who have been so helpful
and encouraging. They are great clubs. "
Stuart added, " We are encouraged by these results and
hope that others will be prompted to have a go too. It certainly
hasn't been plain sailing for any of us; there have been tears
and doubts along the way. But I think that is the case with any
real success and it makes our belts so much more valuable. "
When asked about where they will go from here, Rebecca (15) said, " They
say that we start learning karate when we get our black belt,
so there's plenty more hard work and improvement ahead! "
Also successful on the day was Alex Holland. Alex, a junior member
of LELA Shotokan club in Long Eaton was very pleased to have gained
his black belt after training for a number of years with sensei
Terry Corbett.
