For January 2008, I have chosen.............
JACOB HILTON
He is a good student and is really enjoying school this year. Something interesting about Jake is the fact that he has a twin sister (Kasey) and, believe it or not, they have different birthdays. And, even though neither would probably admit it they are pretty close. Jake has wanted to take Karate for some time and when I did a demonstration for his class he was definitely hooked! Jake attends our Wednesday evening class and currently sports a yellow tip belt around his waist. With his love of martial arts I'm sure that his progress will be rapid and I foresee a yellow belt in the near future. Jake is willing to try a variety of techniques and does take direction well. To attain his Yellow belt, next on his plate will be the mastery of his 40-basic movements and Neptune Kata. Considering Jake's ability to learn and retain what is asked of him these new requirements should pose no problem. In addition, his sparring will continue to improve as we spend more time concentrating on a number of combination and timing exercises.
Family is very
important to Jake and he loves spending time with his aunts, uncles and
grandparents. In addition to karate, Jake enjoys baseball, photography
and
video and computer games. According to his mother he is very helpful
around the
house and is always ready to help out when asked. His Mom,
Leah, is his #
1 fan and supporter and always makes sure he gets to class weekly and
practices
at home.
Congratulations,
Jake,
on being named Ki Do Karate's
January 2008 Student of the Month.
