Yellow Belt

As previously stated, Liam has been doing Karate for about 6 months now. We knew he'd be testing for a new belt in October-- the yellow belt! He was *very* excited, but he knew he had to work really hard in order to pass the test. The kata that he had to learn was very difficult for him and didn't come easily. He practiced with videos, etc, but it wasn't clicking. 2 days before his test, we filmed the teacher and he and Wes practiced for HOURS until he got it. I'm sooo proud of his hard work! He wanted it so badly and he put in the hard work to do it. Here are the videos of him testing (first) and then receiving his new belt (second). You can pause the music at the bottom of the page.





And here he is-- a new yellow belt-- with Sensei:


Afterward, we went to Dairy Queen for a treat. Liam wanted a banana split.


Great job, Buddy. We're sooo proud of you!
