He has excellent grades in school while maintaining an impressive training schedule in the dojo. He was also selected as one of the few kids in his class to go to Japan on a school trip last year. Daniel is a prime example of the positive effects martial arts can have on a child's life.
Seeing him grow up into a respectable adult; eating better, taking care of himself physically, maintaining a positive attitude on the mats, at home, and school, are all positive results. You can see the changes for yourself in the photos, but watching this process first hand has been an honor. Way to go Daniel! Keep up the hard work on your journey.
