Karate Graduation March 2012

 I'm Happy to announce that we all advanced up a belt color this session in Karate! Kaylie and Ean are now Red belts. The kids worked really hard to know all the technique and kata moves. I'm so proud of them!
I'm also thrilled to have moved up a belt too. I'm officially a brown belt!! At this point you have to know all the technique from white belt through blue belt and you have to do two of four Kata's that you learn in orange-blue (these are a series of moves you do as if you are warding off several attackers on different sides of you). Also you have to spar (with gloves) one person for 3 min, two people for 2 min and three people for 2 min. with one minute breaks in between. It was a little stressful trying to remember everything but I did it!
Can you tell I love taking Karate as much as my kids do? :)
