a new belt

Last year Caleb started a taekwondo program through the free membership we had at the YMCA. We slacked off once the school year started and then the gravy train dried up (so to speak). For the past 2 months Caleb has been taking classes at Master Na's. He loves it! Thursday he participated in his first belt advancement. He is now an Advanced White Belt - white belt with a yellow stripe in the middle.
Here he is showing his poomse - form (in Korean).


And here he is attacking this poor girl. Actually, he is demonstrating an attack, and she is demonstrating a block.

Demonstrating a roundhouse kick.

Using a side kick to break a board.

Wearing his new belt, bowing to his instructor. Master Na is the black belt in the middle.

And a great picture of Abby! It was 95 outside, and the warehouse the dojong is in was almost as hot.
We are so proud of Caleb. He worked so hard and can now appreciate the fruits of his labors. - April
