Karate Promotion

Link has been going to karate for a while, now and he had his first promotion, yesterday! We love the things he is able to learn from his school. They teach a lot of things other than just karate. They teach them self discipline, respect for others, self defense, balance and so much more. They do learn a lot of karate kicks and punches as well! We love his karate school.

Here are some pictures of his special day!

He got to help lead the "Star Block". He remembered it quite well and did a great job.


Here he is receiving his belt and certificate.


He is becoming one with the karate belt. He is supposed to have his hands forming a triangle to remember to better himself in mind, body and spirit.


They had a family member help him tie on the new belt. (Princess had to be involved. There are her pink shoes.)


The ceremony was really cool and fun for Link. He is a great kid and really loves karate!
