Karate Testing

it's that time again - testing for karate! zachary is going for his green belt, and jordan will be moving up to a tiny tiger brown belt. they both did an excellent job and most of you would be surprised to hear that they both stayed quiet for most of the 2 hours! master jackson tells all the kids if he catches them talking, he will tear up their test papers and have to wait for the next testing date in 4 months - i guess that's good enough motivation for keeping their mouths closed! lolthis is the forms part of testing...

are we boring you yet, jordan?!

well maybe this will wake her up - i know it's very fuzzy (i still have to figure out how to take action shots in low lighting with my camera), but check out our instructor chris's flying side kick! he really gets up there - if you look, you will see the girl holding the bag up is standing on a platform about 2 feet high!

moving on to sparring...

and last but not least, here is zachary breaking his first board! last time he had to break it over chris's head. this time they let him break a thinner board, so hopefully the next time he will have the confidence to break the regular size one!
