This past Sunday my youngest boy Neill tested for his Nidan (second degree black belt) in the Martial Art of Kendo (way of the sword), Japanese fencing. I started teaching him when he was 6 along with his older siblings. Neill passed with flying colors and is the youngest to make the Team going to Brasil in August to the World Championships.
