Brown Belt it is....

Dalton achieved his brown belt tonight at karate class. Hard to believe that it is almost done ( and school that matter) for another year. As you can see by his little grin he was quite proud of himself too. He does a good job. He won't be returning to this class next year though. he has learned all he can here now and will be joining the class at the base that incorporates kick boxing. He is looking forward to that.

We might start at some point this summer but we will see how busy we are otherwise it will wait until fall. For him though it can't start soon enough. But I also tried to remind him that it will somewhat interfere with the activities that we plan on going and doing this summer. So he decided to pass until September.
He spent most of the year this year as a sempai. Helping to teach the others in the class. He enjoyed that too. Now all the kids are looking forward to the end of year pizza party next week!
He kills me with his proud little grin. Afraid to show how happy he is but just having a hard time containing himself.
So after the belts were all done the boys had their picture taken with Sensai. Tyson had to join in too!! Nick also got his brown belt and I expect that he might join Dalton in the fall too. We'll have to wait and see.

Mom and Dad are so proud of you Dalton!! We love you so much! XO

Orange belt stripe!


Tonight Dalton was presented with his yellow belt stripe.
Tyson was enjoying a snack while we were waiting for his turn.We watched the kids do some exercises and as Sensai presented each of the children with either their belt of stripe.

This was the children doing a few exercises.

This was the presentation part. This is Cole the helper. He is called a Sempai.
Dalton loves karate. He was so proud. And he is looking forward to start up in September. Next week is the pizza party for the end of the year.
Sensai's comment about about Dalton is that he needs more discipline but is is sure a really strong power house! Like a Chevy truck! So that made Dalton super happy!
