Janie had her 3rd belt test today.
Peanut had his 1st belt test too!
We’re so proud of both of them.
We celebrated with a spaghetti lunch at Trabocco! Yay!
Belt Test #2 – Yellow
Janie had her second belt test and performed all of her Yellow Belt skills today.
Self-Defense Move
Yellow Belt Routine
Yellow Belt Kick – this took 3 tries but she broke the board into 3 pieces!
We are so proud of our little kung fu girl!
Soccer Goal
What is this?
On our way to dinner, Peanut started doing this funny sidekick-hopping thing. He thought it was hilarious.
Kung Fu Practice
Janie donned some gloves and practice her punching today.
Then she did a little sparring with one of the SiFus.
Peanut did a little punching and blocking himself!
New Game
Janie made up a new game with her brother today. I’m still not sure how it works but it looks like a combination of soccer and basketball.
First Belt Test
Janie had her first Kung Fu belt test. She’s currently a white-black belt and hoping to move up to solid yellow. There were a lot of kids testing today and they all tolerated the 2-hour process quite well.
She had a series of tests. The first one was her self-defense move.
Next was her white-black routine.
The final test was her kick. She had never tried kicking a board before but if she has the technique right, it will break the board in half. And she did on the first try! Yay!
During the whole test, Peanut played with Natalie’s little sister.
We are so proud of this tough little girl!
Isla’s TKD Party
Janie and Dada went to Isla’s birthday party this afternoon. It was at a taekwondo studio and Janie was a little anxious about joining the group.
As the session progressed, she warmed up to the party and got up to join the kids.
Heh-YA!
