Yellow Belt in Kempo


Last night my daughter received her yellow belt in Kempo. That is her in the first photo waving. She and her friend there had invited their 4thgrade teacher to attend the ceremony and both were surprised and pleased that she actually showed (now how pleased she'll be with this photo of herself with her eyes closed is another topic!). In the second photo, my girl is the first on the left (with pony tail, -next to the bald Sensei-he actually has hair, but shaves his head. {And a quick aside here, for those of you that remember my YURT days, he was an apprentice with Mike and lived on the land when we did, although he lived in the Octagon never having a yurt of his own. Poor Sensei!}. His 2 girls are on the right. A wonderful performance, and the whole group moved up into Yellow Belt status, and now my daughter can kick your ____! Watch out, and consider yourself warned!
