My son just earned promotion to 1st dan. His 16th birthday was April 23rd, and he tested under an affilated instructor. He "maxed out" on points and passed with flying colors! I am very proud of him!

Congratulations to him and to you. Make sure that he knows that the black belt is only the beginning and that he is at the start of a rich and fulfilling journey that will last him a lifetime.
By the way, what style of karate does he practice?

He trains in Zanchin Combat Karate. 16 is the earliest age which black belt is awarded. He understands that black belt is the beginning of mastery of a system that it takes a life time to truely understand.
