Well Braden as most of you know has been going to Taewkon Do this past year. It has become something that he really excels at. He started the year in what they call the Shadow Warrior class. It's for kids 5-8 which is just perfect age wise no real big kids in class. Anyway they start out with a plain white belt and they earn strips and badges along the way. Green first then blue with red ending them out. The big final end point of the year is to get your grey belt which means your on the way to the big class. Well in order to get it there is a test you need to pass. You must know everything up to that point plus no a pattern(not sure how many steps 12 I think) and also be able to punch and kick through paper (not as easy as you think). Braden was able to do all of those things. And here is the end result.
Braden got his grey belt and passed without any errors (one of the only ones his instructor said). One of his other instructors said that with his technique he could easily break wood. Well he was so proud of that fact that of course he wanted to try but Mom being a meany said um no not yet.
Here is Max with Braden he was so proud of his big brother that he left his Preschool picnic to watch him get his belt.
