The Munchkins and I passed our martial arts belt tests last night. We had to escape various chokes, hair grabs and headlocks, perform specific punch/kick combinations, and do defensive blocks, parries and covers. In addition, The Master had to demonstrate his "Forms", which are specific combinations of punches, kicks and blocks. Miss Munchkin got kudos for her high kicks (she can kick over her head!).

I admire you! Congratulations to you and your Munchkins! The Boy tests tomorrow night for his high yellow belt and is beyond thrilled. His movement was slowed by baseball playoffs, so his goal was to test by the end of June. I want to join as well, but for now, the $$ say a big fat NO! Enjoy your advanced class.
Thanks Alisa. I wish I had started when I was younger - I feel so old and awkward in class sometimes. :P But everyone is very nice and encouraging - I think I'm the hardest on myself.
Good luck to the Boy tomorrow night. Don't forget your camera!
Congratulations!!!
YAY! Congrats to you all!
Congratulations! I admire your guts for doing this. I would be cowering on the floor with my arms wrapped around my head screaming like a girl. Wait, I am a girl.
