Black Belt Takes Big Steps to Beyond Karate
Looking on as her father and older sister, Asia, were performing the moves of their Sensi (instructor) in a beginner karate class, Nikki Nowosiad mimicked along from the rows of chairs surrounding the room. Seeing her intently following along at her own pace and the smile radiating from her face, her father, Witek, decided to enroll her as well. It was a big step for the Nowosiad family as Nikki is a special needs child. Nikki was given a uniform and belt and did her best to keep up with the class. These karate class outings became a weekly family affair they all looked forward to.
