JT just graduated to the yellow belt but we found out he was ready to test for his green! So, last week we spent 4 nights at the karate studio. 2 for his regular classes, 1 testing day and Friday was his graduation. Graduation was really cool. The kids got to show off their stuff and even see a couple routines from some black belt kids. This captured both Sam and JT's attention~ Especially when they were wielding around bo staffs and swords! Here are some pictures and video of JT from the event.
Getting Ready.
Bow of Courtesy.
Front Punch.
Forms 1-10. You have to know the different poses 1-10 and say sir with each one. You are supposed to be loud and forceful.
JT rocked this! This is what earned him his bonus blue stripe at the end from Master Mendoza. So cool! Check out this video of it.
Grappling.
Top Mount wins. You have to get on top of the other person, get your legs wrapped in and stay there. JT is really getting the hang of this. :)
Receiving his Green Belt. This is when Master Mendoza told him he got the only blue attitude stripe he was giving out in the graduation. JT was so excited. We have it on video, but it is too long to post. It is awesome.

JT and Master Mendoza.
Serious Face.
Love JT here. So cute. He was so proud of himself and we are so proud of him!
