Whale Ears and other Wonderings: Blue Belt!

Friday, May 23, 2008

Brian took his Blue Belt test in Taekwondo Thursday afternoon. He's been practicing very hard and it really showed. He passed his test easily!

Here's a slideshow of photos from his test:

A movie of his 3rd poomse - a series of movements he has to master for this belt:

The sparring section of his test:

and the breaking of the boards. One kick (which I mostly missed), one punch, and one ?knife-hand? strike:

Huwoman - because not all humans are boys (Honor, age 6)
Doubled Eggs - how Honor asked for 'deviled eggs'
Blinking Alligator - How Brian misheard "Lincoln Navigator"
100 infinity 8 - Honor's current favorite number
Marineologist - aka a marine biologist, what Brian wants to be when he grows up because it combines science and being in the water.
Map - how you get from the ingredients, to the finished meal; aka recipe
3D Rectangle - what most 6yos might have called a 'box', but Brian is very literal.
Fairina - as in a Princess Fairy Ballerina; what Honor was this Halloween (oct07)
Grandma Rock - what Honor calls the "Grammar Rock" computer game
