aiden gets his orange belt


Master Lee retires Aiden's yellow belt and ties on his new orange belt.

Aiden is already talking about getting ready for the green belt test.


Thirty seconds of meditation.


Showtime! Aiden showing Master Lee and the panel of judges his moves.


The judges quizzed Aiden on his knowledge of Tae Kwon Do terminology (all in Korean). He was also asked to explain some of the "B" marks on his (home) report card.


Master Lee gives Aiden a friendly hug.


Aiden happily running back to his seat after the judges passed him.



While he plays it cool, I can tell that Aiden really admires some of his older and more advanced classmates.


Aiden reminds his teammate about mind focus before breaking the board.


Aiden proudly holding the board that he had just broken with an ax kick.


Aiden cheering on a classmate to break a board with a drum roll.



Handshakes with the judges.


Concluding comments and a little motivational speech from the judges.


Aiden's whole Tae Kwon Do class - AHH YAAAAH!

  3. He should be on cloud nine, he's spend months getting to this goal. The first of many BTW.

    I love seeing Aiden so serious and with rigidly straight posture. Not only does he look the part he IS the part.
