Yeah Buddy...Green Belt!

Exactly one year ago today, lil Chris was taking his first ever Tae Kwon Do belt test - going from white to hi-white. This kid has accomplished so much in the past year and I'm so proud of him...Today he was promoted to green belt!

Focusin...
Belt Test ceremonies are really neat...Not only do you get to see all of the students show off what they have learned over the past few weeks/months, but you always get to see some type of demonstration by the instructors. This time, it was the newest group of interns from Korea...They were awesome! My favorite part of the whole shebang though is seeing how much dedication and determination each and every single person involved shows, young or old. What Master Lee has established here is truly a remarkable thing :O)





INTERNS IN ACTION


mmkay, the lighting is waaay off here (still new to playin with all these new camera settings) but notice the floating gun to the right....



LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS....



DEFENSES




still playin with settings...i'm havin as much fun as they are :O)


If it looks like the instructor is really getting hit here, he is. If the expression on all of the other adult faces in the background don't confirm it for you, let my word confirm it for you. The fact that the instructor gracefully accepted my son's knee AND laughed it off because he understood  how serious my kid is about this and really didn't mean to knee him full force IS PRICELESS. Thank you dear sir for being such an understanding, patient instructor :O)
