Yellow Belt

Two weeks ago Zach tested for his next belt which is the color YELLOW (for the Sun as he says).  Last week we found out that he has passed!  They were going to do the belt cermony on Friday night but we were going to the Sam Houston game so we knew we were not going to be able to make it.  But tonight they after his class he received his belt.  We are so proud of him!

Here are some pictures I took during class..

This is a medicine ball, they were trying to get them to keep their hands up to guard their faces so they were making them keep this above their head while doing squats.. Zach wasn't so good at this.. he was not wanting to do the squats and was complaining of the ball being heavy.. it was cute when I caught him doing it half way I made him start squating.  He is so funny!!

Congratulations Zachary!!!

We have an Orange Belt in our house!

Tonight Zachary received his orange belt for Taekwondo.  He was very excited about getting this belt.  He has worked hard to get it and we are very proud of him!

Before the ceremony started..

I couldn't get the best picture of him getting his belt but he went down the line of coaches and they all congratulated him.

After everyone got their new belts it was time for the Blackbelt ceremony.  The lights were turned out and the new Blackbelts were put in front of everyone.  Each of them received a candle and then one of the coaches read a saying to them that was written by the first Grand Master.

Ms. Halifex went to each of them and gave them some words of wisdom.  She is a World Champion and a great coach.  We found out that she will be leaving after next week, we will really miss her!

After it was all done the kids were able to get the coaches to sign their new belts and take pictures.

Our new Orange belt!  We are so proud of you Zachary!
