Pedro's Joourney to Blackbelt Continues Step 2

Last night was Pedro's time to show what kind of Taekwondo skills he has mastered in his first month of class. He has battled ninjas for a look at his ninja battling skills click here http://www.youtube.com/user/Teck32455?feature=mhee
Let it be known that after the beat down he gave the ninja in the above link the ninja executed his plan of revenge. Poor Pedro was sneak attacked from behind and grabbed. His brother and sister came to his rescue and it took a while to calm him down. I feared that his Taekwondo aspirations were gone, but not my little trooper he would not let that ninja get in his way. He persevered and is doing awesome. I guess his brother and sister did a number on that sneaky ninja because he yet to be seen!

My little man has become quite the Taekwondo fanatic. He truly enjoys learning to kick, punch, and kick some butt as he calls it.I truly enjoy the fact that he is learning to sit still, pay attention and follow directions.

Here are my three monkeys chillin' out waiting for testing to begin. Not a nervous bone in their bodies.

Relaxing before testing


Now that they are all lined up and have said their pledge, they are patiently listening to directions about testing. I was amazed at how well he sat still.

Listening to instructions



The judges Mr & Mrs Wing


Instructions have been given and now the kids have moved to the back of the room to await their turn to show of their skills.

Patiently waiting for his turn

Time to show off his attributes


He has surprised me at how fast he has learned to do his form. He can show the moves when asked. But does his form "follow the leader style"(this is where he does it along with someone).

doing his form "high block"


Don't know exactly how he managed to kick the bag and not the base (since his legs are barely as tall as the base) but he did.

Front Kick



Punches to show "reaction force"


Now it is time to receive the award for a job well done. He is so happy and very proud of his new belt. That belt has gone everywhere with him since he git it last night. He is even napping with it right now.

Pedro received his orange belt





No longer my little baby, he is now my little man. Hopefully one day he will be my little champion. With his white belt skills mastered it is now time to learn some orange belt skills and add to his Taekwondo knowledge.
