I can admit when I'm wrong

So a few months back I went on and on about how Emma was some perfectly exceptional belt-skipping karate Tae Kwon Do master. Well I was wrong. She didn't skip a belt, I just had the order confused. See in karate the belts are different and karate is what I knew. Abby had dedicated a few years to it and I was extremely interested in the sport especially since Mr. Padilla was such yummy eye candy a great instructor.

Last night Emma had another belt test and got her belt in the correct order. She really enjoys karate Tae Kwon Do and she's pretty good at it. In fact she is always so excited to go to karate Tae Kwon Do and Master David is just plain silly! Whenever we show up, I tell her to run out there and show me her fabulous karate moves. Then Master David scowls at me and reminds me she is taking Tae Kwon Do. And then I feel like an idiot because it's been six months now and I just can't stop saying karate.

The girl ROCKED her pattern and got her new orange with white stripe belt. And she got promoted to the advanced Little Ninjas class. Way to go!


I think that karate Tae Kwon Do has been a great activity for Miss Emma! It teaches her focus, discipline and respect. Wait, I said respect... What the heck is this?



Just for that I'm going to keep calling it KARATE!!

I too am clueless. The only thing familiar to me is a little kid sticking her tongue out at me.

This is great!!! My hubby was the NJ state champ of tae kwon do for two years so he is dead set on the girls getting similar training. We are planning to start them at 5 years old. I just love it when I see a girl that's confident and can kick ass!!!

Lots of congrats to Emma!!!

Hi Amy! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I really like yours. I think we can relate to each other. So you like reality shows, so do I. Do you watch The Apprentice? That's my favorite right now. I love Stephen Baldwin on it. He's so funny.

How cute. I think Martial Arts is brilliant for young kids. I'm currently training to instruct basic Kung Fu and part of my training is running a class for a group of kids ages 3-6. It's fun.

Go Emma!
