No Way!

Gavin recently tested for his yellow belt in Tang Soo Do. He finished his at school six week program and tested at the karate school. It was a great night. Grandmaster C.S. Kim was present to see and meet his class. He made the belt presentations and made a presentation.

In addition to his belt presentation, Gavin learned to break a board. They practiced with pads the week before and early in the evening. The two Masters held the board (hmm?) and they were coaching him. Ms. Miller was right there with him. He was not sure he could do it.

So, they had him bring his arm around in a large circle once, twice and then third time. The third time is the hit. When his hand hit the board and it broke, a look of pure shock was on his face. It lasted a few seconds and then the pride washed over his face. He is so proud and so are we.
