Karate Belt Updates: Bentley!

Bentley received his black belt in weapons this past month!  This is an impressive feat because not only has he studied and learned to use many different styles of weapons, but these are also some serious "we mean business" type of weapons.  No foam nun chucks or bendy bo(s) at our dojo (and yes, I have seen both of those elsewhere!) - these are some sharp metal scis, thick sticks, and wood nun chucks that hurt when they thwack you.

At our dojo the students study bo, sci, tonfa, and nun chucks. 

I am defintely impressed with how hard Bentley (and Jake!) both work with their weapons classes and how fearless they are compared to me.  :)  Bentley put a sci though his lip (I still shudder thinking about it!) a year or two back as he was practicing a little too zealously.... although perhaps that is the wrong story to share as it implies he's a bit careless.  And he is defintely not 99% of the time!

Anyway.  Great job, Bentley!  And we look forward to seeing Jake get his black belt in weapons sometime next year!
