Karate Belt Test

We arrived at Karate this evening to discover there would be testing for the next belt level.

After warming the kids up, and practicing with them a bit, the instructor sent all the parents out of the room out into the hall so the kids could test without the pressure of their parents sitting there. It didn't keep us from watching through the windows though and wondering how our kids did.

After all the kids were tested, the parents were allowed back into the room. The instructor told us this was probably the best class he's ever worked with and despite the need for some perfection, all the kids had all the basics down and everyone received their yellow belt!!!! And because Hannah went to the Tournament yesterday she'll get a stripe on her belt showing an extra degree. We are so proud of Hannah!

Next week, there will be a belt ceremony were the kids will get their new belt, a certificate, and a trophy. And then will perform for the parents, grandparents, and who ever else comes to watch.
