Testing for Senior Green Belt

Collin was finally was able to test for his senior green belt in Taekwondo last month. We had been gone all summer during the previous testing dates and finally, we were able to be here! He did awesome, of course.


The testing was a bit more complicated this time. He had a nun-chuck routine he had to learn, which he loved doing. Three of the four questions he had to memorize were Korean phrases. I worked hard with him the last couple of weeks to help him say them correctly (I think?). He might have pronounced the sentences with a Spanish accent but, oh well. We also had the primary program last weekend and Collin was supposed to memorize a few lines for that, too. We had to put them on the back burner until he was successfully through testing and then he had to cram for a day.

Answering his questions...


Sparring...

The group he tested with and his teachers, Master Darrin and Master Kim.

We went to Sam's Club afterwards to pick up a couple of things. It is funny how Collin could spot this car pretty quickly, though cars have never been that interesting to him. He really liked it. We told him it was motivation to study and work hard.

Funny thing was, the owner of the vehicle was coming out of the store while we were snapping this photo and guess what? Yep, he was a chubby, old guy!
