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.

Thanks, Nana Beth. The kid is on cloud nine since he got his belt. I love it!
