Award Ceremony

Today was Britton's award ceremony for karate, he was so excited. He was the first one to get his award for the evening. The pictures turned out dark and horrible, it's a good thing we recorded it as well. Any way here he is receiving his yellow belt.

If you had perfect attendance you also received a medal. (I have no idea why the next few pictures are sideways. I can not figure out how to rotate them, it's very annoying)

This is his certificate for moving up a degree.

This is his test scores, if you got all fives you got a patch, only one kid in his class got a patch. Britton came close. I'm so proud!

After they received their awards they had to bow to all of the parents. Britton is on the left.

When all of the awards were given they had a regular class for yellow belt. They got to spar for a while. They were partnered up with someone and started sparring freestyle. The rules were you couldn't go for the face or below the belt but you could kick their legs, if you hurt someone you had to do 30 push ups and if you made someone bleed you had to do 50 push ups.....nobody had to do push ups. Britton was teamed up with this boy (Britton is the shorter one).

After a couple of minutes the teacher stopped them and put this boy with someone else and teamed Britton up with the Assistant Teacher. I'm not sure why she made the change but I like to think it's because Britton was to tough.

Here's Britton and his new partner. He got some good kicks and punches in.

And here he is after class. What a cute boy!

We let Britton choose what he wanted for dinner as a little award from us.....of course he chose pizza.
