Tate earns his yellow belt....

Warning.... this is going to be a karate photo overload post.  I just loved the photos that we were able to capture of this boy at his yellow belt testing. Tate LOVES karate. It is great for him because it holds him accountable for his actions and he is not eligible for a belt change if he has not been obedient in the class, at school, and at home. We love his Hanshi and Tate has been working so hard to earn his yellow belt. It has taken him a year and he is so proud of the fact that he has earned it. Karate does teach the reward of hard work. He is so serious in Karate.

 Time to break some boards. He loves this.....

 He has a big smile...He finally earned his yellow belt. Karate teaches patience as well

 Getting dressed in the yellow belt....

 One proud moment.....

 Now he can smile as he shows us his Karate moves
