First
This takes me back to my first days in martial arts and my daughters first days. However, what touched me the most is when the sensei started crying. 🥋
👍😁
Much love and respect to Steven breaking that board, with his karate kick.
You go boy !!!
I really want everyone to understand, this is not about the young student breaking a board ! This amazing Teacher has just planted priceless seeds into his mental psychy to grow as he becomes a young man with respect for himself which leads to respect for his parents, elders, teachers, and marriage. He just learned to never give up, to never be afraid of trying at his greatest fears even if you dont get your goal at first, keep trying… and you will accomplish which takes patience to do, patience lead’s to becoming a Great leader, father to his children and his wife, ge learned Determination, which drives you to overcome your greatest joys but most importantly his hardest tests life will give him! he learnd trust, encouragement and mans biggest weakness, ..pride!! His teacher made it ok to cry as a man if you love someone or are proud of another person’s accomplishment without selfish tendicies.. All that from breaking a Board!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! 🤗
You can also see the sensei gives him a bit of help with those impressive forearms. Great that he had that in his toolbelt. The kids would never be the wiser.
Amazing So Much Dedication And Determination 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Beeeeeeepppp
🔥💪🔥 Yessss….🤩
Priceless
Bless him, very well done to Sensei and student💜🦄💜
One of my favorite videos of all time. I know it sounds stupid but I come back to this video all the time to remind myself that adult hurdles can be accomplished as well.
Phoenix inspires me in ways he’ll never know.
Selective censorship on this channel!
Thanks you ♥️
I salute great sensei 💯👏💯🙏
