A New Stripe

Chase and Carissa started taking Taekwondo about 4 months ago and last month they both tested for their white belt with a black stripe (or, as they like to call it, their black belt with 2 white stripes. LOL). Testing went well and they both walked away victorious. Here's a few pics from the testing.

Here they are with their new belts and their teacher, Master Maye. They're supposed to be giving their "tough" faces... Chase breaking boards,

sparring,

showing his self-defense,

doing his form,

and receiving his new belt.

Carissa doing forms,

sparring

discussing strategy with her coach,

breaking boards,

and showing self-defense.

All in all a great first testing for both of them. Up next month: it's Tristan's turn. This time he'll be testing for his green with a black stripe. Wish him luck!
