What's White, Orange and Gold in our house?

Karate belts! As the year moves along, so do the lessons and graduations to new belt colors. It has been a great experience. The month of May was Austin's turn to earn his first belt, with great pride he passed his exam and received his orange belt. Connor will graduate to green belt in June. In May, it was "Mothers" month at Black Belt Martial Arts...that means, moms of students could take Thai kickboxing all month for FREE! So I thought and thought...if I'm sitting there for hours anyway - just watching the boys in their lessons, why not take a class for me at the same time! Exercise/cardio for me and it doesn't take up any additional time on my calendar. Sounds perfect. Turns out, I survived the month and actually enjoyed it. It's hard to learn all the different moves but by the time my 5th lesson rolled around, I could make it through the 1 hr class without giving up and resting. So I learned an important lesson, you are just never too old to learn something new and all those times I encouraged the boys they could do those pushups that were so hard....I could actually do them myself! So here is to a new year of new things....Black Belt Martial Arts, we love you! http://www.bbmac.com/
