Camo Belt Promotion

Q-tip has worked very hard for this promotion. We debated letting him move up to this belt as it required another large investment of sparring gear and the addition of another class a week for sparring (I have my fingers crossed this is semi optional and can be used as a reward). Q-tip was confident he was ready and tried his hardest to display this testing cycles core value of Confidence.

To progress to a camouflage belt has a lot of significance. Q-tip is no longer a beginner, he will be interacting with the higher ranks now. This is very exciting.

"The sapling is hidden amongst the taller pines and must now fight its way upward."

The student begins to realize his/her place in the world's largest martial art. The student must now begin to spar in order to promote in rank. -ATA website

  5. I am surprised at how well he has blended into Taekwondo. I agree, soccer and dance probably werent his thing but they were okay at the time.
