Purple Best Testing





Q just tested for his purple belt on Thursday, Cooper and Dex tested for their purple stripe belt on Friday. Q is still nervous and anxious during testing, but once he warms up, he does a great job. I love watching testing, it's such a positive experience for the kids. They start with prayer to give thanks. Then they remind the kids that testing is about their effort and not giving up, the instructors do a great job encouraging the kids. The kids end testing feeling so proud and with a huge sense of accomplishment.
