Karate Kid in action....
Hunter has been taking karate lessons for the past ten weeks through the YMCA. He has loved going each week, and is so excited to learn new moves/techniques. It has really become a fun family activity that we have all looked forward to on Monday nights.
Tonight was testing for the next level up. He was really nervous about it, and even up until we got to the gym and it was time to line up--he was apprehensive about even completing the test. But with some positive words of encouragement from me, and his teacher--Hunter put on a brave face and said, "Okay, I can do it."
As you can see from the pic above....he conquered his biggest fear about testing--and actually broke his very first board. (on his first try too) He also had to break a board by kicking it as well, and that was also another success. (second try) I think that he even surprised himself....because the smile on his face was priceless. He overcame something he didn't think he could do....tried his best and had a positive outcome. I couldn't be prouder of my little
karate kid.

We went ahead and signed him up for another 10 week class starting in January.
Way to go Karate Kid!
