HAD TO SHARE!!

My son went back on total GFCF 2 days ago (no infringements at all) and

yesterday, he moved up to Orange/Khaki belt in Karate, and he looked GREAT!!

No one was able to mark him autistic, or delayed until the very end when he

began to cry, because he was overwhelemed, YET it took SO MUCH restraint, he

held it in for like 10 minutes!!!! I was SOOO proud of him, and the

difference this diet has made!!!!!-Shari

Evelyn, it depends on the school. My 10 yr old daughter is taking karate as

are my wife and I. We're all testing this coming Thursday; my daughter for

blue, wife and I for red belts. Our son is dying to start and hopefully

when he's in first grade which is the normal starting age at the school he

will. Our 6 yr old daughter is into gymnastics instead.

Anyway, we go to a Tang Soo Do school and the progression is

white/yellow/green/blue/brown/red/black with a variety of intermediate

steps. For example our daughter is currently a green belt with a blue tip

while my wife and I have red belts with white stripes, called deputy red.

I think this is a tremendous accomplishment, kudos to your son. No it

doesn't make him ready to hold his own against Chuck Norris, but it does

indicate concentration, stamina, hard work and respect for others. And let

him know from me if you care to that it keeps getting cooler as he continues.
