I Keep My Karate Like A Treasure In My Pocket


As you loyal readers of the 'Blog know, Tyler has been taking Tae Kwon Do classes for the past two months. He really enjoys every aspect of the training and can't wait for class to roll around each week. Today he tested for his yellow belt and did very well. This was his first time to test, so none of us knew what to expect. He, and all the other kids, lined up and performed tons of moves as Master Fred shouted out directions, rapid fire.

These pictures show Tyler doing different blocks and moves. To my dismay, all of his kick shots are blurry, but they're cool so I posted a couple anyway.

We are all very proud of Tyler and his hard work. The concept of the white belt is 'focus' and 'punctuality.' Ty has exhibited these traits in his training towards the yellow belt. He had lots of admirers from our family who came to cheer him on. Thank you to everyone who came today. It means SO much to us that you took time from your busy, busy Saturday to support our kidlet.

So now he starts work on his orange belt. Lots more training, more moves and blocks, even some awesome kicks and punches. Pretty soon, I think we'd all better watch how we talk to Tyler or we could end up in a body cast. Congratulations, Tyler!! We are so proud of you!!
