Big K earns Yellow


Kaleo on the Left, Aiden right

Ready for the UFC - Kaleo in Black/Red.

I'm gonna make you tap-out!

Yes!


After many weeks of dedicated practice (his test kept getting delayed). Kaleo finally earned his yellow belt. The yellow belt requires the first 9 moves of Heian Shodan, but with the extra weeks of practice, he did the whole thing (21 or moves). It also requires demonstration 3 basic punches, 3 blocks, 3 kicks, falling, and 3 stances, attack and defense move- most importantly he's had to display self control and discipline. He's also been sparring alot and picking up a lot of (applied punch, kick, and block) and is getting better at his spacing. I love watching him excel at this, I can sense that he loves the feeling of accomplishment.
