BLACK BELT LADY!!!!

3YEARS
312 CLASSES
12,480 MINUTES
12 TESTS WITH:
1200 JUMPING JACKS
400 PUSH-UPS
1400 FRONT-KICKS
600 BACK-KICKS
1000 ROUNDHOUSE-KICKS
400 SPIN KICKS
AND FINALLY....

BLACKBELT LUCY!!!!
When Lucy started, she was 6 years old, she couldn't kick (it looked like she was shaking dog-doodie off her foot!:), and she had the best little "hi-yah" yell in the class. Now, 3 years later, she still has the best "hi-yah", her spin kick is the highest in the class, and she is an amazing, committed, confident young lady!!

Here she is waiting for the big test at the Junior High across the street.

The testing gang!!

Getting her beautiful and official certificate and Blackbelt card.

So proud. What 9 year old EVER commits to something for 3 years and achieves such an amazing goal!! Today, at the end of class, when the kids all "bow to blackbelt", they all turned to Lucy, the only blackbelt there, and bowed to her. She was beaming. It was beautiful.
