Tonight we had our grading for Tae Kwon Do with both Nykolai and I passing. We’re now yellow belts and can start working on the next pattern. Nykolai surprised the teacher by doing the whole Taeguk 1 pattern (kids his age only have to do the first 9 moves to pass). He got a round of applause from all the people watching. We’d worked pretty hard on it to get him into shape and a couple of our “home practice” sessions had included his mate Nicholas (who went from yellow to yellow+one stripe).

We’re both very happy with it, although I’m sure that now I’ll come under even more pressure to come along to some of the adult classes :)
