On Tuesday, March 31, Brayden Isaacs, age 5, was chosen as Student
of the Month.
He is a member of the Little Dragons Program, a specialized
age-appropriate class for children ages 4-7.
Brayden is a Kindergarten student at St. Nicholas/St. Mary’s
in Wilkes-Barre, where his favorite teacher is Mrs. Al-Saigh. According to
Brayden, his favorite thing to do in school is “having recess”.
He lives in Kingston with his parents, Dennis Isaacs and
Mary Sweeney.
Brayden has been attending Barnes Martial Arts for about
eight months and he has attained the rank of Advanced Gold Belt, 2nd stripe.
His favorite part of class is a self-defense technique called “The
Shield”.
According to Master Barnes, “Brayden was chosen as Student of the Month for a number of reasons: he
is incredibly focused -- it really stands out among kids his age; he is very
smart -- he asks some of the best questions; his enthusiasm for training is off
the charts; his positive attitude; extraordinary attendance – he almost never
misses a class; he participates in every community event and monthly Kindness
Mission. Brayden is an exemplary student in every sense and, to me, he is an
outstanding example of what a Student of the Month should represent!”
In addition to Martial Arts, he lists his other interests as
playing soccer and video games.
Students of the Month are chosen based on a variety of
criteria, including: class participation, discipline, attitude, technique,
personal conduct and how well they exemplify the Martial Arts in ALL areas of
their lives, in and out of the studio.
When asked if he had any advice for other kids who were
thinking of pursuing Martial Arts training, Brayden responded, “Do it because it is fun.”
Barnes Martial Arts is located at 1366 Murray Street in
Forty Fort, PA.
