After passing the test, the students have to break several boards.  Some with their hand or elbow, some by kicking.  This was Noah's kick.  That's him in the red, leg outstretched!

Prior to getting his belt, his Karate studio had an exhibition.  Each person was asked to say a few words.  This was too big for the blog, but check out youtube at: https://youtu.be/nWVrM5m3Gk4.  This made us all so proud.

 There were a lot of people on hand to watch.  Like this little purple belt!

 And hey...cousins from Kentucky??  Evan and Josh were there!  That made it super special.

 Check out the belt!

 And Erin and Kyle were there??  What the heck?  How very cool!

Congratulations Noah.  This was a lot of really hard work and dedication.  You did an amazing job.  This is the start of the next level, but what an amazing accomplishment!  We're all really proud of you.
