Week 33 – Dirk Herfurth

Today I am sitting at the dojo as a parent. I am watching my son practicing the same art as me.

That is the great thing of our Zen Martial Arts dojo. It is a place for the whole family. In this safe environment my son is learning self-defense and martial arts. In addition, he is getting life lessons that he can take outside of the dojo and that help him to find his place in this world.

I also see him having fun with his friends, giggling a lot, goofing around, and getting a good work out in at the same time.

On our way home and over dinner we sometimes talk about the practice, and I can give him some tips.

He learned a lot already since he started. I love see him grow with every practice.

My current Challenge progress as of December 24, 2024.
