Tae Kwon Do

These pictures are from right before Thanksgiving, but with our traveling I am just getting them up now. Better late than never!

Daniel has been in the Little Dragons class in Tae Kwon Do since August, and was in his first belt ceremony on November 15th. He got to trade in his original white belt for a new one, showing that he has attended class and learned all the enw material from the last three months.

Here is his old belt. Each month he earned a new black stripe.



Here are a few of the other Little Dragons. You know, I'm not sure why they use that name for this class. The kids ALWAYS reply, "I'm not little - I'm BIG!"


As part of the belt ceremony, each child got to break a board. Here, Daniel is practicing his strike before he tried it on the board. He broke it first try! :)


The lady giving Daniel his new belt is Ms. Needham, one of Daniel's instructors. She is great with the kids.


Daniel's certificate, showing that he earned his belt.


The new belt, complete with his "on guard" scary face. Priceless!



And just so she doesn't feel left out...
