This is a letter from a family who has recently started their karate journey with us, describing their experience climbing Mont Tremblant. We had a wonderful day. I hope this letter inspires anyone doubts they are capable of taking on this challenge. It is truly a rewarding experience.
Jean, Mirella, and Nikolas
I would like to take a few moments to share our experience climbing Mont Tremblant with you on September 13. Jean and I had only had three weeks of karate classes and no training whatsoever. Nikolas, on the other hand, had just recently turned 6 years old and was not really into walking. Nevertheless, we wanted to do an outing that would initiate Nikolas to the joys of being outdoors. I cannot deny that we were hesitant at first because Jean and I were definitely not physically fit.
The number of participants was great and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Don’t get me wrong, it was not an easy feat. At times we just wanted to turn around and go back down; however, with your encouragement we climbed all the way to the top. What a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. You were so right in telling us that with effort and perseverance the result would be well worth it. We would like to challenge others to participate in such events no matter what the age or physical shape they are in. Look at us, Jean is 56 years old and I am 46 years old. Who would have thought we would have started karate at our age as well as climb Mont Tremblant.
We are proud of our climb thanks to both of you.
Mirella, Jean and Nikolas
