Spring Belt Testing

After doing the required forms, sparring and breaking a board with a front snap kick, Jason earned his green belt in Tae Kwon Do on April 19th. While he passed his test, it served more as a reminder of just how much more he has to learn.
Due to the differences in the coloring of rank belts in Tae Kwon Do and Karate, and the frequency of testing (Jason has had two belt tests in between the karate belt tests), Jason was able to catch up with Christopher in belt color (though Christopher really out ranks his dad). In actuality Jason's rank is equivalent to Alanna's rank.
UPDATE:
Oh yeah...and the Karate Kids just had their belt tests this last weekend. Christopher advanced 1/2 a step (same as the rest of the green belts), Alanna advanced to green belt and Sheila earned her orange belt.
This summer they will be going once a week and Megan will be joining them. If we ever do another family portrait we'll have to do it in our martial arts uniforms. :)

Congratulations everyone on your advancements! I like the idea of a family portrait in your uniforms. :)
