Today was Nick's very first karate tournament at PKSA Karate School in Riverview. He chose to do Forms and Breaking as his events and did really well. Jere and I were so proud of him we couldn't stop grinning! We got lots of photos and video of Nick's big day so I thought I'd share some here. Tang soo!
Picture #1: Competing in his first event, Forms. He got the highest score!
Picture #2: Nick being awarded his well-earned gold medal by the black-belt judges. Good job buddy!
Picture #3: Breaking a wooden board with a powerful kick! He also broke other boards with his fist and elbow. Don't mess with him--he might hurt you! Nick's boards were thicker than his competitors! We tried to talk him into thinner boards, but he refused. Such a brave boy!
Picture #4: Nick with one of his instructors, Master Pitti. Nick has been approved to do the testing for his green stripe.
Picture #5: Showing off the goods! He got the highest score in both of his events and went home with two gold medals! This put him in a very good mood indeed!
