Stephen started Tae Kwan Do last year and loved it. At the end of the year he tested and progressed to a Tiger Cut Yellow belt. He wanted to do it again this year and had a great time. He has a wonderful instructor, Mr. Smith, who is great with the kids. Their focus is mainly on personal safety and being aware of strangers and hopefully how to get away from someone who may try to take you, of course they also practice legitimate age appropriate Tae Kwan Do moves, but he does a great job of helping them be aware of self defense. Anyways, Stephen loves it and was able to test again this year, for his Tiger Cub Green Belt...and of course he passed! The parents got to watch them in their testing, so we got to see what they have been working hard on all year long.
The group getting ready. Most of them are new to TKD this year the 3 children (including Stephen), who have the patches on their uniforms and the yellow striped belts were able to participate last year and tested and passed to get their yellow belts.
Getting his new belt and certificate. He actually looked at Mr. Smith and said, "I can't believe I got this!" He was so enthusiastic about it, it was so neat to see him excited about his accomplishment.
Stephen & Mr. Smith
