Our new yellow belt

Wow, it's been almost a year since I wrote a blog post.  Where does the time go?  Rather than write up a really long post about what we've been up to lately, I'll try to make them shorter and more frequent.  Let's start with a highlight from last week...

Haden started taekwondo a little over a year ago.  He spent many months as a Tiny Tiger although he was old enough to move up the the Basic class.  It was really nice to have both boys in the same class so we were only attending one time slot.  During the summer Haden didn't want to do taekwondo.  I wasn't sure if he was done for good or just needed a break after a busy school year.  Each month I would ask if he was ready to start again and he kept saying no.  Finally, in August, he wanted to re-join but in the Basic class - he was done being a Tiger.  The only catch was that he wanted Kye to attend class too.  At our studio, adults can join for free with a child so it would only require buying Kye a uniform.  Anyways, they both started in August.  Haden has done great in the older class and is learning so much more than he did as a Tiger.  Kye needs a bit more practice, but he'll get there.  So, last Friday night Haden was ready to test for his yellow belt.  Here is a video of him testing:
