Sean's Orange Belt Test



Sean has really taken to Tae Kwon Do, and today he had his Orange Belt Test. He is an excellent student not only of the moves, but the terminology, the attitude and everything that Master Cha tries to instil in his students at Flying Tigers Martial Arts.

The highlight of the test, of course, is breaking a board. It took Sean a couple of tries, but that isn't unusual. He was so proud after, as we all were.

Sean has really taken on a leadership roll with Tae Kwon Do, leading other students in class, and even helping them before and after and during free time at home. We are very proud of him. And huge kudos to Cory for working with him and making sure he does his black belt best every day.
