Since Zedd and Jarrison, Gavin's best buddies, have gone off to bording school, we have been trying to find him something to do outside of school hours. Tembagapura is not really equipt to entertain a teenage boy, unless he wants to find trouble in the jungle.... and we don't want that. :). Gavin had also been working out at the gym, but you can only do that so many hours in a day... So we turned to a good friend of ours to help us out.
Vince is an ex military, special ops guy who has extensive training in martial arts. Vince asked Gav if he was interested in training and Gav of course said yes. So the two of them started training about eight weeks ago. They at first started in the gym, then moved to the squash courts, and then finished in our back yard.
Here are pictures of Gavin training outside. Anyone jealous?
Gavin and his teacher Vince. Thought I better feed him at least one time for all he has done for Gavin. ;)
Training is now over for Gavin because he only has a few days left on site and Vince has gone back to the US. Vince, from the bottom of our hearts, Chris and I just want to say thanks for all the time you put in to training Gavin. Even though it was a short time, you taught Gav many moves that may one day save his life. For that we will always be grateful!
Take care friend! :)
Robin and Chris,
ReplyDeleteIt was my honor to teach Gavin. I know that he will go on to do great things with his life. I am grateful for what he taught me and brought back into my life.
Godspeed,
Vince
