They’ve been waiting for a couple weeks to have their belt testing. Patiently watched as their classmates tested, a couple weeks ago, for their next belts. While Graham and Zeke needs a few more weeks practice, Angelina tested tonight for her next belt. She did amazing! Crisp punches and broke her board with a side kick with a snap.
Tonight’s class started out with Dodge Ball; even Graham, pictured above, likes playing. This is one of the kids’ favorite class activities. They need to bounce and keep their stance for the whole game. If they get hit by a ball they are usually out, but tonight, they did 10 push-ups and were back on the line. If they catch the ball, they are safe and can throw it across to get someone else.
Angelina is bouncing in the back, with ponytails. Try as I might, I couldn’t get a good shot.
Zeke completing one of his many reps of push-ups. He likes to be on the front-line, so was ‘hit’ often.
Someone just needed to take a rest. It helped that there is no air conditioning in this second floor classroom/gym. It was HOT!
Angelina ready for testing.
Angelina demonstrating her knowledge of blocks, kicks, and punches. The helpers always get to demonstrate falling gracefully!
The board was broken. No hesitation. Dash, who helps with this class, is to the right of Mr. Mike (black pants and black belt).
Our newest Orange belt…
Good Job, Angelina!
