Wider Achievement:
A huge round of applause to Lewis Fraser (S3), who continues to make outstanding progress at Shotts Karate Club (WKC), advancing from yellow to green belt during his grading!
This wasnāt just a belt change – it was a testament to Lewisā unwavering commitment and hard work. Heās been training with focus and determination, mastering adult-level techniques with maturity well beyond his years. His progress reflects countless hours of practice, resilience, and a deep respect for the discipline of karate.
Lewisās impact goes beyond his own journey. He has become a role model for younger students, leading by example with humility and encouragement. Whether itās helping others with their skills or simply turning up with a positive attitude, Lewis embodies the spirit of the dojo.
His achievement is a proud moment for the club and our school. A reminder that with dedication and enthusiasm, great things are possible.
Keep pushing forward, Lewis. Weāre all behind you!
