It's belt test time again, this time Logan was working towards a full purple. Full belts are always more difficult than jr belts because they are comprehensive, you are tested on EVERYTHING you have learned in your study of karate. It also means we are at the studio A LOT! The week prior to testing, the kids are encouraged to go to EVERY class for review. That means everyday, for a week, EVERYDAY! do you get my point! And the test itself is over 2 hours...2 hours of forms, self defense techniques, sparing and endurance. So this is a BIG accomplishment!
At the end of testing, they invite parents in for the belt ceremony. It's a cool thing. Mr. B talks about the meaning of the belts and emphasizes the hard work put in to get to this point.
After they place their old belt behind them (it's in the past), they take their new belt and recognize the amount of learning that took place to get to here and how much more is needed to continue.
Then they place it on their waist to signify their strength and hard work.
And then over their heart to represent their dedication and commitment.
A little time to meditate, reflect and focus.
Hooray! Congratulations Logan, we are very proud of you.
