Noah graduated to green belt yesterday. Even cooler, he graduated to the Junior class. We are excited for him to move up with the big kids. Mainly because Jenna and I are tired of participation success. Noah's ready to be in the world where everyone keeps score and he advances on merit. We are so proud of him. This cycle was difficult because we were gone a lot and he missed a lot of classes but he was still a rockstar on his form and sparring. Of course, Jenna's favorite is his freestyle where he really demonstrates he has a talent for martial arts.
Here's a picture of him with the primary instructor, Mr. O'Connor. Noah really likes Mr. O'Connor and always wants to impress him. It's nice to have your kid genuinely respect an elder and teacher. Noah is just a good kid and we are very proud of him.
