Some pictures of Justin from Karate class (Ok, its really taekwondo if you you want to get technical but I have no idea what the difference is). The big news is that Justin is graduating to his orange belt on next Monday! We were quite surprised because he just started at the end of December but, he is ready, and there is no holding him back! Im so proud of him and how much respect and discipline he has been showing in class.
It's hard for Evan, who started the same time as Justin, and who is not getting promoted. But, Evan is definitely not ready yet. Its difficult for Evan to remember the movements and steps involved, but, he is working hard and smiling the whole class, and this makes my heart soar. Sometimes, those who have to work harder for their accomplishments savor them more. And this is a lesson that I am proud to help Evan learn in karate, and in life in general.
One of the signs of respect in class is to "take a knee" rather than sit down on your bottom while the instructor is talking. Justin does a great job remembering this.
I like this action shot of Justin in the air, his feet scissoring.
