Belt Graduation

Gracie has been taking Tae Kwon Do lessons from Master Vu, her martial arts instructor, for about four months now. She's in the "Little Ninjas" class and doing very well.....starting with a white belt, then yellow and, here, earning her orange belt.

Many of you got to meet Master Vu at Gracie's 5th birthday party. All the students love him because he makes learning fun. He teaches the kids about integrity, practicing self-control, being respectful to your parents, and, most importantly, that girls are NOT allowed to date until they are 30! I love Master Vu!















The ceremony has just started and the Little Ninjas will be the first to perform their 'combinations' in front of the black belts. Gracie's not even the least bit worried....nerves of steel I tell ya, nerves of steel. Of course, Gracie has always LOVED having an audience so this is really no big deal. : )

The Little Ninjas had to complete a 6-move combination to earn their orange belt. Pretty impressive front punch, don't ya think?

Yeah, she did it!! I'm so proud of her!
