Karate Grads!

It's been a while since we've blogged. Our latest adventure is our totally awesome karate class! We are students of Mr. Power (yeah, that's right) at ATA Taekwando! We like it. The knife hand strikes are awesome. We have learned so much! Here we are free-stylin' for Mom...

























































































We tested in front of some pretty tough judges, and ultimately earned our orange belts. Parents, permission to be the absolute coolest. Permission granted!











We were awarded with our new DVDs!



















I explained to him that we had just gotten those. He didn't feel like discussing it during the graduation ceremony, but Mom assured me that it was a different DVD.














This kid better watch out!


















Being belted!













The other students dazzled us with their sparring and twirling of weapons. I'm not so sure that "dazzled" and "twirling" are acceptable terms to use in the karate community, but Mom is helping us with our blogging here. We don't want to hurt her feelings.










Noah being...ahem....dazzled.

















Me and my fellow Power Ranger from school. We rock karate class together!
















Stomp, fist, twist pull the wrist...
















GO AWAY STRANGER!























Knife hand strike!















I'm gonna knock you out. Mr. Power said knock you out.


















Punch!!! HIYAH!
















Who's showing the awesomest middle stance? Its Noah, its Noah!


















Front stance!

















Our ATA promise:



Sir. I promise to be a good person with knowledge in my mind, strength in my body, honesty in my heart,to make good friends, and to be an awesome black belt.










Sir, I am a winner!...Chicken Dinner!
