The Baddest of the "Goodest"

I love watching kids do Tae Kwon Do, and even better than that is watching the black belt demonstrations and listening to their hands "cutting" the air with their moves. The sound their hands make is amazing!

It was truly comforting to me to realize that there are that many black belts walking around the world and even where I work!  

If the unthinkable goes down at work someday,  I know who I'll be looking for to uh...  partner up with!

Anyway, Caleb had his brown belt test in Ankeny on Saturday and did okay.  He did not know the meaning of his form and it took him a LONG time and MANY kicks to break his board.  He wasn't as fired up coming out of it like he is sometimes after he does really well.  

So be it.  Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Ready to spar!

Shortly after that first pic, and now he's waiting to see who his sparring partner is.

Board break in the picture that my sister Dianne took.  Caleb said it was EPIC and needed to be shared.
