Belt Ceremony

Tonight was the Belt Ceremony at Karate. In past Belt Ceremonies, if you went to tournament and passed the belt test, you jump two degrees in which belt you got. So we assumed Hannah was getting her purple belt tonight. However, Grant, the instructor, informed the parents tonight that they felt they were moving kids up too quickly in belt color (something we wholeheartedly agree with and were concerned about) and no longer would they jump a belt degree for going to the tournament. So tonight, Hannah was awarded her Senior Orange Belt. We've very proud of her accomplishment!

I'm also happy to report that Hannah has decided to continue on with Karate. This decision was made even when she thought she was getting her purple belt tonight. I prepaid for the whole quarter, so now she's officially committed. LOL.

Waiting for her new belt. It's not purple, but she still appears to be happy. Telling Hannah's he's proud of her for going to tournament.These are the kids who went to tournament.
Grant said that was a huge accomplishment. Hannah, Emily, and their instructor, Grant.
