First Test - to - First Belt

Andrew earned his first belt in Tae Kwon Do last night. He now is an official white belt. WOW!! Has he improved since the first practices. His pattern (series of movements with punches) was crisp, clean and precise. His First Steps Number 1 and Number 2 which are a series of punches, blocks, kicks and jabs and each number has one more action were hard and right on target. Master Mike then asked if anyone knew Number 3. Andrew says "I have watched it, SIR. He completed the steps perfectly. He even broke his first board with his heal. It took two tries to get it to break, but Master Mike told him that it was a "hard" board to break. This statement made Andrew think he was pretty top dog. He is so amazed with himself. According to the junior black belts in our sixth grade class, he did very well. Coming from them, I feel pretty proud too.
