A Short Story from Our Dojo
One afternoon, a shy second grader from Willow Creek walked in. She barely spoke at first and kept her head down. By week four, she was leading warm-up drills for her partner in the buddy system. She said she felt brave and wasn’t afraid of bullies anymore. That smile and bold voice made her parents beam with pride.
