Belt test #2

This weekend was a busy one for kids' activities. Yo had his belt test, and Mika her ballet recital rehearsal. Yo has progressed on to "Basic Form #1B", which is a step up from "Basic Form #1A". So we are told; from our layman's perspective it looks like there are more steps in 1B. He also gets a red stripe on his belt now, adding to the green one.

Belt Test

The family got all geared up for Yohan's first Taekwondo belt test. Our budding champ did awesome with the warm-up routine, his "Basic Form Number One A, Sir" move and his first official board breaking. He had to write down one bad habit he'd like to break on the board and say it to the audience before he broke it. His parents had to veer him away from his first choice of bad habits ("digging my nose") to something more ...ahem... acceptable to the audience. So we went with "whining". And what a diference breaking that board has made in our home. Not/ :)
