High White Belt

Lee had her first belt promotion in Tae Kwon Do last night.  She and Bridges started in September, and she has really enjoyed it.  They both attend the beginners class at 6 pm and then Bridges stays for the advanced class.  It's twice a week opposite swim, so it makes for a busy week, but she seems to love it.

Here she is breaking a board with a pretty good kick.  She's got a lot of focus, and it seems it might be a good sport for her because size doesn't matter so much.  Master Lamy is himself pretty small in stature, so he's a good role model for her.  And Master Lamy Ma'am, although a fifth-degree black belt, is confined to a wheel chair as a result of a car accident, so she's a great role model too because she is an incredibly positive person despite her challenges.
