Beta child has hit her first big karate milestone: graduating from a white belt to orange.
Not much story for this one, just some photos that I snuck in when I wasn’t too busy watching.
The newly-promoted students demonstrated their kata – the forms that they learn in class. The higher-level students (quite a few adults, older than me) looked choreographed in their moves – exact and synchronized.
I stayed for the entire ceremony, simply thinking that it would be polite, and found the higher-degree demonstrations to be fascinating. The nunchacku was especially cool – Beta thought so too.
