I can’t believe I forgot to post about Hudson’s karate testing. It happened right after Megan’s 1st birthday and right before Thanksgiving so I got a little side tracked. Now that I have remembered that I didn’t share the pictures I am determined to stay up late to fill you in on the details. Hudson tested for his white-black belt last month. He did a great job on testing day. He was very excited to get his new belt. This is the highest belt in the Little Dragon’s program.
In order to be eligible for the test he was required to attend two classes in the Black Belt Club which is the program he would move into. The instructors wanted to see how he reacted in a longer class, older kids and more curriculum. He wasn’t nervous at all. In fact the instructors were impressed with how well he fit in. They feel he is more than ready to move up to the next program. We will sign him up in January. The Black Belt Club means he is making a 3 year commitment to karate. At the end of the 3 years he should have is black belt. It also means that he will be able to take unlimited classes. Right now he only goes once a week. Hudson needs to be challenged. It will provide more accountability and focus. The instructors will expect more out of him and in the process he will become more self disciplined and confident. I noticed a big change with Ethan when he started this program and now I am excited to see Hudson grow. Of course all of this means I will be sending half of my weekday at the karate studio. I honestly don’t mind because karate has such a positive impact on everything they do.
