There She Goes...

Meri is now a first degree Black Belt! She got her certificate last night at class, but the belt is still being processed and getting her name embroidered on it in gold.
We kind of already knew she had passed almost a month ago, because our instructor was teaching them the new form and single Ssahng Jeol Bong (aka nunchaku, aka nunchucks) (aka numchucks for those like me who have been mispronouncing it all our lives.) And he wasn't as stern with them as he had been after the testing when they didn't pass...

I need to sew her black stripe onto her uniform as soon as I buy some.
Then WATCH OUT!

  1. Awesome!! I'm sure it gives you piece of mind knowing she can kick butt if someone ever tried to attack her. And thank you for clearing up the nunchuck numchuck thing. I've been saying wrong too! lol
