"What is it?" you ask. Well, it's a form of martial arts which combines judo, jiu jitsu, and taekwondo. Our oldest started taking in May of this year and has already moved up a belt. He tested a couple of weeks ago and did wonderfully. They had to remember a set of forms (steps) called Kibon (a set of 12 movements) to pass up to the next belt from white. Now he's already learning the 24 movements to move up to yellow belt which he'll be able to test for in September. After 2 classes in one day, he nearly has it down. He has a great memory. I'm glad he's finally found a sport he loves.
Here is is with his favorite of the instructors actually getting the belt...the quality isn't great b/c I only had my cell phone camera with me. This is Master Cook. Yes, he's young...14 I think, but he's my favorite as well. He keeps the class in line and really helps each kid individually. We'll be sad if he ever leaves.
