Sons Began to Grow

Mesa, Arizona -- There are two brothers, as the story goes. One had the heart of a lion but a mouth like a hyena, always meaning well but never knowing when or how to restrain himself.

The other, the first son, had the heart of a cub but the poise of a groundhog in winter, always wanting to mean well but never appearing from behind his own personal wall.

Their father knows both worlds and longed to see his sons grow as he has grown. So he had them learn martial arts and its traditional teachings. Seven months passed and the sons began to grow as their father had.

The lion-hearted, hyena-mouthed one learned self-control. The other gained self-confidence, a groundhog in winter no more.

"I think it's one of the best things I've ever done for them," the father said of signing his sons up at for karate. "It worked for both kids for different reasons."
