On Wednesday night, Sam and Ryan received their blue belts in Karate. They have been training for about two years now, and this is their fourth color rank. Each of them had to perform the green belt kata by themselves in front of the teacher, and they had to receive a certain number of point in order to pass. Sam was the only one to perform perfectly, and when the teacher announced this, he was very proud. When they started their training, they had around 40 kids in their class, and only 4 remained to test for their blue belts, so I'm pretty proud of them. This moves them to an entirely different level, and their training becomes much more serious, so only time will tell if they continue or it looses its appeal when they actually have to put forth a lot of effort.

Way to go! That is such an awesome accomplishment! You will have to show us your moves.
Where do they go to Karate at? That's awesome for them!! Braiden goes to Peaceful Dragon. At least your boys can help each other. I can't help Braiden. I was done helping after about the first year. Ha!
