Neil's Yellow Belt



Many, many years ago in a town far, far away a strapping young man named Neil worked his way up in the karate ranks to a status of green belt.




Here, we find our man Neil, not quite as young, a little closer to home and still very strapping -taking karate again. The kicks are lower, the splits not as far down and the muscles definitely don't recover as quickly but here he is doing it nonetheless.




As anyone who has taken karate will tell you, the white belt stands for courage, because it takes courage to go into that dojo for the first time. I would tell you that it takes even more the second time around.




Neil successfully graduated to his yellow belt Friday night. Yeah Neil!! I told him he looks like a fried egg now.
