A Certificate, A Green Stripe and a Yellow Belt


Last night the kids had their every three month karate belt testing. Zack is a Little Dragon, so he has a white belt but gets a colored stripe each time he tests. Sadie is in between. She is 8, which is the age cutoff for the Little Dragons, but she didn't start karate until she was 8 so she needed time to learn everything. Sensei Guido decided that she was finally ready to test for her yellow belt! Oh, and he also asked Drew to come in his uniform. Drew isn't in the class (it starts at age 4), but he joins in when he feels like it and Sensei just loves him!

Zack went in the first group and did awesome! He was concentrating SO hard and looked very strong and confident, which was fun to see.


When all of the Little Dragons were done, Sensei called Drew up by himself and had him do some exercises! He actually followed directions pretty well. He was so darn cute up there!



Sadie went in the next group. She also looked very good, strong and focused. She did an awesome job!


Then all of the kids lined up and got their certificates and stripes/belts. Drew even got his very own certificate!

This is so wonderful for them. Confidence,applied displine,and self defence! What is also so nice is that they all seem to enjoy it. I loved looking at all of the pictures David took.
Congratulations to all of the kiddos!
