Karate - Yellow Belt

After the T-ball debacle with Will when he was 3 (i.e. I signed him up, bought him all the stuff, and after one practice and one game he was so over it and bored out of his mind), I decided to wait until he told us that he wanted to join something.  A karate club near our house had karate after school on Fridays at Will's school, and after Christmas, Will said he really wanted to do karate.  So we signed him up and it has stuck.  We are thrilled with the curriculum and Mike Genova who owns the karate studio -- they teach not only karate but respect, self-defense, the importance of school, and other great lessons.  (You can see the creed in one of the pictures below.)  They encourage parents to watch and involve us when they can.

At the end of the school year, Will had his first belt test and graduated from the beginning white belt to a yellow belt.
