My Blue Belts!




Bentley and Jake continue to work hard at their karate.  They have been eagerly awaiting testing time so they could advance beyond yellow belt status - they both tested for, and passed, the tests for their orange and blue belts!  They're already working on katas and combination tequniques and blocks needed for their next aspiration - a blue belt with a purple strip.  :)

If you look closely you'll notice, in picture 2, another family member at karate - Daddy!  He's doing some classes with the kids.  Matt was a karate goer when younger, but in a different form of martial arts.  So he's starting over as a white belt (but is now a yellow belt and I'm sure will advance quickly).  :)

Now that the boys are blue belts they are eligible to attend the more advanced class offerings at the karate school.  They are really enjoying the exposure to more advanced moves, and they're having a great time.  Karate is treating us well, and was definitely a good choice for the boys!  I look forward to seeing what they do next.
