10.02.2009 GB Springfield little championsAn example of Jiu-Jitsu’s magic with children
Black belt Marcos Barros, head of Gracie Barra Springfield, in Illinois, does a great work with children. His school is always packed with the little ones and attendance is taken very serious by instructors, parents and the kids themselves. One kid, in special, is specially serious about showing up for her classes. James Barros tells us the story of Lahne Romaker.
“On a typical day at Gracie Barra Springfield, attendance is required to learn. Perfect attendance is something to aspire to, but for Lahne Romaker it is an absolute! That’s because she has never missed a class!”
“Thats right even though she suffers from a low immune system and often has days where she fights her health issues, she is always here and always on time! She was awarded the Black stripe for her efforts and a big hug from her Professor Marcos.”
“Among her fierce talents in Jiu –Jitsu, she also has a knack for fashion and is an all around great student, friend and her mom Candace says she is also a great kid! We love you Lahne!”
