Orange Belt

Andrew graduated to an orange belt in Taekwondo. He's been working hard on his moves and had them down for the big graduation ceremony. Knife hand strikes, high blocks, number 2 kicks...just some of the moves he has learned. 


 Noah is a big fan and was cheering Andrew on.








There he is in the back, getting his orange belt


Noah is a Tiny Tiger in training. He's a few months away from actually participating, so he's practicing from the sidelines for now. The Tiny Tigers start each practice with the following pledge:

I promise to be a good person (right hand up, reinforced with the left)
With knowledge in the mind (hand points to head)
Honesty in the heart (hand over the heart)
Strength in my body (both arms bend to make muscles)
To make good friends (right hand out for hand shake, reinforced by left)
and to earn my black belt (using both hands to lift belt)

Noah knows the pledge already, including the hand motions. Now he has Andrew's old white belt to play with.




Pretty soon he will be ready to join Andrew on the floor!
