Our little Karate man

Christian has been working really hard every Monday and Wednesday for the past two months. He really wanted his yellow belt and he finally got it last week. He tested at the end of April...he had to show Master Baek his 4 basic kicks, blocks, count in Korean and BREAK a board with his hand!! I was so impressed when he did this. He struck it with the palm of his hand and it only took two tries:) You can see the board below It took a little while to get the belt in, but now he can wear it proudly...in fact he did wear it to church Wednsday night because he was so excited to finally have it:)
Master Baek is so good with the kids...he's firm and expects a lot, but he can also be playful and fun. I think that's why they all work so hard for him. He teaches them to respect others and themselves...he talks about Eye Focus, Mind Focus and Body Focus...they are also learning a lot about patience which we could all use more of:)

If you are the least bit interested in your child taking Karate talk to me. We have seen incredible progress with Christian's confidence and he just has fun with it.
We are proud of you little man!! Keep up the good work and remember how much we love you
