As much as we are watching our children to see what they do with thier lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.

Sophia's Yellow Belt

Sophia earned her yellow belt 6 months into taking martial arts.  When Sophia started at martial arts world she was shy and reserved.  Over the past 6 months we have observed her confidence increase and fear decrease.  We are so proud of our shy daughter for being brave and focused.  A few of the themes of testing were focus, thinking positive, believing in themselves, learning from mistakes, respect and getting over fear.  I loved seeing Sophia say "yes sir, mudo" and  "yes I can!".
