Karate Testing

We have done it.  Another karate test has passed and so did we.  Matt is a blue belt and half way to his Black Belt.  Mikey is now a black recommended belt and is two tests away from the coveted Black Belt.  I am half a step behind Mikey and will be a Black Belt in August.  My wonderful honey is a 2nd degree recommended belt.  He will test in March to be a full fledged 2nd degree Black Belt martial artist.

He was asked to to a board breaking demo with real boards at the testing on Tuesday night.  Here it is.



He did a similar break for his test on Wednesday night.  The speed break (the first one in the video) was replaced with a palm heel and the side kick (the second in the video) was done with him jumping over two kick shields standing side-by-side.  Sorry no videos of that one.  Maybe next time!
