Noah has tried several different activities and has finally found what he loves!!! Karate!! He gets so excited on Wednesdays and really starts counting down the time when her gets home from school, until its time to go. He has done so well!! His teacher is wonderful with him and all the kids! I really couldn't have found a better teacher. He is so patient and encouraging not just with Noah but everyone. He came to and said that Noah was ready for his first testing to go up to the next belt. I really didn't know what to expect when we went in, but let me just say I was amazed!
Noah got to lead the class in the warm up. He had told Mr. Miller that he was a little nervous and Mr. Miller said this would help him get the butterflies out! He did awesome! He looked and acted so confident! I loved it!
After they warmed up Noah went first since he had the the lowest belt. I really didn't know what all would take place in order for him to get his advanced white belt but I quickly found out it! He had to break a piece of wood with his hands! He got it on the first try!!
When the younger kids were done Mr. Miller talked to them and said how proud he was of all of them. He is the nicest man!!
Next that got suited up to spar! I didn't know what that was at first but quickly found out. They learn how to defend themselves. The younger kids don't make contact yet.
Noah did so good and had so much fun!! That really is what it is all about!
He got a trophy and got to take his wood home!
He came home on Wednesday and said "Guess what Mom"? I said what. He said "you are looking at a man with a yellow belt"!
