Brynn took his first karate test a week ago Friday. He has now been taking karate for just over 3 months, and he had to know the various kicks, blocks and punches (called basics) and a 'kata' - a routine using the basics. At first he didn't want to practice at home, but when Sensei (his instructor) told him he'd never make it to black belt without practicing at home he really worked hard. I wasn't sure if he would ever remember the whole thing, but he knew all the moves a few weeks before the test and so was able to work on his stance, strength etc. Unfortunately the video I took of him doing his kata it too long to upload.
While we haven't had the official word if he passed or not, Sensei taught Brynn the kata he'll need to know for his next test today, so we are assuming that he passed!
Iann just loves watching Brynn do his karate and is trying to imitate him. Here they are doing karate kicks together:
