Our Orange Belt (again); Change of Style (again)

A few weeks ago, DJ did his testing for his orange belt in Kajukembo. He was so proud to finally get his orange belt since that is the belt he had in Tang Soo Do before we left San Diego.





That same day, we decided to no longer continue with the program at the community center and move on to a karate school. Right after his testing and promotion, we headed over to the other gym and signed him up to start Kenpo.


He is really enjoying that he now gets to do some sparring and learn some more physical moves than what he was doing in Kajukembo.


Within the first 2 classes, he learned a few self defense moves and is really good at it.

At his last private lesson this week, the instructor (an adult) told me that he was amazed that DJ's punches and kicks against the pad could actually move him. He said that most kids that size and age don't have that much power. GO DJ!!!! He is definitely our little karate kid (can you hear the theme song to the Karate Kid movie in your head??? LOL)
