Introducing....

Our BROWN BELT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As you can see Hayden passed his belt exam this past Saturday!!! We were so proud of him! He got out there and did his best and put forth effort we rarely see in class. He was even proactive in sparring instead of just blocking and bouncing as he normally does. He earned this belt, every inch of it!
Now we are only a year and a half away from black... or I should say Hayden is, but it is us and my father, who drive him there and sit on those benches and take him to exams, or camps, and tournament... so in a way it's still "we." We will have all earned it, Hayden will just have sweat the most :)
It will take him 5 month to get to single brown/black, then another 4 months to double brown/black and then it depends on him and where we are in the black belt candidate program progress as to how long after that. Hard to think he will be 10 when this all happens. That is still so young.
Just know that when he does achieve his black belt, we are having the party of all parties!!!! :D

Congratulations to all of you! Even those on the benches ;) It's so nice seeing kids putting so much effort into their goals.
