Green-Brown Belt

Tonight, Eric was awarded his Green-Brown belt, and was officially welcomed into the Master's Club class.

 There are higher level skills and expectations in the Master's Class, as it is the class that leads to the Junior Black Belt.  Above, Eric is doing  series of star jumps for 20 seconds, which alternated with running across the mat to do combative combatives against the bag.

 This was followed by 20-20 sit ups-push ups.  Eric rocks at these.

 A new kick was taught tonight-the double snap kick.  You jump, then do a quick snap kick with each foot before landing.  They also practiced the Pike kick, which involved jumping and kicking with both feet simultaneously.   Eric rocked this kick!

This is Eric's 6th belt advancement.  I believe there are 5 more to the Junior Black Belt.  Eric has worked faithfully over the past 18 months with his skills.  He has also requested to have an 'off season', so he will be taking a 3 month break after Thursday's class for that, and resume class in October.
