Reunited

Almost eleven years ago, five year old Michael walked into a near by gym for his first Karate class. I vividly remember that though he was excited, I was unsure. Nervously, I signed him up with a Sensei who turned out to be great. Michael was taught well and advanced quite well. After a couple years,this sensei decided to close the dojo. He did fill in as sensei at another location from time to time, so Michael joined his second school. Unfortunately things at this second school did not work out for us nor did Michael's original Sensei stay as an instructor.Michael joined the next closest dojo(an hour away) and we had not heard from his past sensei again. Until last year that is. Two years ago the assistant Sensei at the far away Dojo started his own Dojo, much closer to us. After a year, this Sensei decided to merge the Dojo with a newer one in the area which Michael and Robby joined. After a few months at the new Dojo, it was rumored that Michael's first sensei would be working out at the new Dojo. Michael was very excited to see this Sensei. At one of the last classes They posed for the following picture.
