Karate Kids

Well as you may or may not know, we are very involved in Tae Kwon Do. It all started when Gabriel thought that maybe if he was going to be a marine he might need to learn how to fight and shoot a gun lol and I was all for it since it was indoors and warm :) ! Gabriel and Sophia both go 3 or 4 times a week after school. It is so good for them, physically and emotionally. I have seen a huge change in both of them since they have began. A big part of the program is teaching the kids self control, respect and modesty. All of the kids have to prove they are trying their best in all of those areas, at the martial arts studio, home and school before they are able to test for the next belt level. Sophia tested for her gold belt this weekend. So I thought I would share a few photos!



Before the test, getting ready to go!



Doing her wrist escapes.


Palm Strike!

Mission Accomplished :)
