Just a Thursday night at karate. I thought we would go to the open mat class and then, maybe, Ewan would get to promote to his next belt. We have been working towards promotions for what seems like forever. We get there, we just go slower because of other commitments like sports.
Surprise! Kella and Kinley got in on the promotions, too. Pretty cute watching my 5 year old try to do basic series and run a kata. And, they all did great. It was tough-Ewan's group had to run the same kata at least 5 times until the Sensei was satisfied with how the kata looked. Kella and Kinley stayed strong through the 2 hours that included class and promotion. They worked on kata, basic series a little sparring and self-defense. The payoff-promotion.
The promotion class, before.
Ewan promoted to green belt!
Kella promoted to full yellow belt!
Kinley promoted to yellow-striped belt!
The promotion class, after.
Our newly promoted. Look at how excited they are.
