Green!

Ely has been promoted to Green belt in karate. We are so proud of his hard work. From the day he got his Orange belt he practiced hard at class and at home to learn the new form and combination. He has also started his own fitness regimen at home which includes sit ups, push ups and jumping jacks.

At the school where Ely studies the karate students eventually go on to study Mixed Martial Arts, so Grappling is also a part of the training. This is something that Ely particularly enjoys and regularly receives praise for from his coaches. Here he is just before and just after he succeeded in getting a take down against his opponent for the test.

This time he broke the board with his knee.

The green belt requires a lot longer training period before testing, but he is already eager to begin.
