The BLACK BELT test!

All of my children have tried Tae Kwon Do and my husband has participated at times too. Hayley found TKD was not for her and left the sport after a few months. Trevor stuck it out until an injury took him out of the sport. He made it to the rank of blue belt. Tristan and Colin started as very little boys and took a break of several years after Trevor's injury. At that time we needed to focus on other things. Eventually a new, great for our schedule, homeschool class was formed at our old TKD studio and the boys and then later hubby signed up. These black belts were hard won and many years in the making. On September 12th 2015 Bobby, Colin and Tristan succeeded and passed the 2 day black belt test along with several others who were going for either their first black belt tank or a later rank up to 5th dan. Just a few of the photos from the test. Hope to load more when I get them off my old computer.

Colin helped quite a bit by holding boards for young ones and anyone who needed it.

Tristan breaking boards. he did well and broke all of the boards he'd set up, 4 or 5.

Colin breaking boards. he did well too, he's still "crazy strong"!

Someone from Tae Kwon Do took pictures of the kids and gave them to me. They're better than the pictures I took so worth another post.
