We are so very proud of you Kaeden Tingley!
Kaeden has been at Courage Martial Arts for 14 years…starting at just 4 years old as a quiet Junior Kicker who was hesitant to come on the floor. He not only grew taller…MUCH taller…but he grew to be a respected leader, Instructor and role model for all of our students, from our young Pre-school kids to our Adults and everyone in between.
As you prepare Kaeden for your new journey at UW Madison, please know you will be missed by all of our Courage families…but we are very excited to see what you will accomplish next!
Here are a few comments that some parents sent me about Kaeden:
-Kaeden has truly impacted so many lives in such a positive light.
-He has so much kindness and made an impact on my 2 boys life. He has been so kind and patient and am very grateful for all he did.
-Kaeden is an amazing human being. He is so kind and respectful and a great role model.
-His teaching skills and patience for such a young man is remarkable!
WOW, what wonderful words! Some people may think karate is about kicking and punching. Kaeden is an example of what karate REALLY can do. From a quiet 4 year old to a Second Degree Black Belt who Instructs class with respect, kindness, confidence, quality martial art skill…and most of all…compassion.
Good Luck to you Mr. Tingley
