Brown Sr.

The Man-Cub has ranked again - he's now a Brown Sr. - two more belts to Black. We're so proud of him. He broke 2 one inch boards held together - and he was pretty nervous going into it - but he did fine as always. As one would expect the tests keep getting tougher...
...for this test he had to stop at each step and explain to the Master the name of the step and what it is blocking (in this case it's a block) or what he hitting - if it's a punch or a kick...
...these were his face contacts...
...I love it when I catch him in mid-air...
...the board break - sorry it's blurry - he's moving pretty fast - I'll try and get a better one off the video...
...the broken boards - quite a stack...

...the new belt...

  4. Thanks Nicola,

    We're in the Northwest Black Belt Association - I know the different associations have different belt progressions. After Brown Sr. he still has Red and Red Sr. then Black and for him it will be a Jr. Black Belt and then he goes through each belt again - but with a black stripe on it - called a progress belt - and when he gets through them all again he'll get his 'regular' black belt.
