Karate

So little Jared started Karate in the fall. And here's a glimpse from his first belt promotion back in December. I'm hoping we'll be able to show pics from another promotion ceremony soon!

so from what I understand (because I'm far from an expert in Karate), the belt holds all the karate knowledge. We never wash the belt, it never touches the ground, it's very sacred. So first, have to transfer that knowledge into the new belt. Then student and sensei break open the belt. It was a pretty cool ceremony! And Jared definitely looks forward to his weekly classes.
