5° Black Belt

Mr Tracy, Jamison's martial arts instructor, was testing for his 5°black belt with three others. We went to cheer him on and see some serious martial arts! They were tested in a number of martial arts styles including muay thai, taekwondo, jui jitsu just to name a few. Enjoy some of the videos.

At one point I thought I was watching some baton twirling routines...but without some of the strikes. I can do some of the twirling moves, but not that fast and not with the flips. Not sure why they put them to music, but it was entertaining.
At the end they broke some concrete pavers. Jamison tried it at home on the dining room table....it hurt.....and luckily did not break my table. I wonder if this is going to inspire Jamison to continue? Right now he wants to try everything, which is great! but he is having a hard time learning that you cant do it all. He came home from school on thursday wanting to take on flute lessons and perform for his class on tuesday. Sorry to say that cant happen.
