Wishing Daniel all the very best in his new chapter at University.
Having joined us at 5 years old, as a very young boy who was so shy he wouldn’t even say hello to his Sensei. It took him 12 months to stand and count 1-10 in Japanese, 3 years to say hello.
Daniel came to each class always trying his best, never giving up even when competive fighting was a struggle and challenge.
He now goes on as a very confident, determined young man who has won National Medals, achieved 2nd Dan Blackbelt and Student of the Year - which has not only taught him Martial Arts skills to the highest standard, but he has learned that resilience and preservance is the key to success in anything.
Daniel continued to train 3 times per week through his GCSE’s and A levels as an A* student in all his subjects. Letting us know that his training was in his down time, to release any stress and refocus his mind for his studies.
He will be missed in class by Sensei Alex, all his peers, younger students who aspire to be like him, fellow adults students and the whole Alex Hart Kaizen team but we can’t wait to see him back on the Mat whenever he is home from University!
We are extremely grateful for the community we have created and the part we get to play in making a difference in each and every students journey. 🥋
