Noah graduated to the yellow belt a few weeks ago, and I never got around to posting it. It is not as exciting to me as it first was, as I see now that they graduate everyone, no mind the level they are really at. I see kids at belts higher than him that can't do anything. This is all a money thing to them, and I would gladly pull him out, but he doesn't realize that, and tries very hard all the time, and looks foward to Karate class every week. But, if he ever does get to the point where he doesn't try his best, and is graduated to the next belt just so they can collect another $50, then we are moving on. But, he has a great teacher that really seems to enjoy what he is doing, and is great with the kids.
At this graduation, they showed off some of their self defense techniques. It cracks me up to hear them yell "Get back", and then put their fists up, but I am also excited to see him learn that. He has been coming home trying to teach it to Leah too. My sister was visiting from California, and Noah was so proud to have her come watch him!
We are still in the midst of considering Karate/taekwando for our son.Sounds like Noah has a wonderful time!!!!
