~ Karate Awards Night ~

Good morning and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the blogging world.  Near and dear to the hearts of the men in our family is karate!  And last night was the end of the year tournament with awards. 

 

Our little guy (not so little, I should say) was really working hard to advance in his rank the last few weeks.  Here he is getting his new belt.   

 

 

And then we got a really big surprise, Grace was advanced in her rank because her coach thought she deserved a boost.  Her coach said that Grace had improved a lot this year.  Hopefully this will improve Grace's attitude about karate as well!  Many weeks she would go only because we made her! 

 

Last but not least was Ryan's surprise.  He won "Most Overall Improved" and 2nd place in his class!  He was very happy and a bit surprised as well. 

We took everyone to McDonald's for icecream afterwards to celebrate.  Can't wait until next year! 

Please see Mary, if you'd like to see more Show & Tell posts.

Congratulations to them all!!!
I was so disappointed when our co-op dropped karate this year. My kids were really hoping to continue, (and we just can't afford the studio prices around here.) Hopefully they'll offer it again in the fall.

Congrats again!

I wish we could get our kids in karate but we haven't got anyone giving lessons around here. I know it teaches such self discipline and self control.
Thanks so much for your kind words concerning my last post.
Enjoy your time in Indiana, sounds like a lot of fun!
Blessings, Julie

That looks like a great class with a coach who knows how to encourage his students. I like the picture of the three kids posing in their uniforms - they look like they really enjoy it!
