Blake the Yellow Belt!!!!

I am SO Proud of Blake!!  He started Kuk Sool Won in August.  It was all his idea, and he enjoying it SO much.  Kuk Sool Won is very much a physical challenge, but also very much a mental challenge.  I think that is why Blake is so drawn to it.  It is also a competition against yourself.  He has done SO well!  And let me tell ya, it is NOT easy!!

He went to his first belt test 2 weekends ago.  He normally would have just tested for a "stripe" but Blake was determined to try for the belt.  He did a really good job and got very close.  He kept confusing two techniques, but otherwise knew everything.  He finished the night with a yellow stripe.

His instructor told him there would be  re-test in the next few weeks, so he could try again if he wanted.  It turned out the re-test was the very next weekend.  Blake worked very hard during the week to perfect the two techniques he kept confusing.  We went Saturday night to the belt test, and this time he did it!!  He is now a yellow belt!!  Only two months after his first class!! 

Way to go Blake!!!
