Last Day of Dragons

Even though Bucky earned his yellow belt a couple of weeks prior, his last class was on 5 Oct. After class, we took some pictures at home before he took his uniform off for the last time...until we find a place in GA for him to continue martial arts.

Lil Dragons - Yellow Belt

Bucky had another parent's day today for his Lil Dragons class. This was Buck's first time attending so it was extra special, especially since Bucky was getting tested for his yellow belt at this class. I took a lot of pictures but the videos allow the sounds to come through. The clicking noise you hear is my camera :). And, by the way, he GOT IT!! We are so very proud of how great he did during his testing :).

Family Day #2

On May 18, Bucky's Lil Dragon class had another Family Day. I took my good camera this time because I wanted better pictures than the first time. This time he broke two boards and received a red stripe on his belt to go with his green stripe. Normally this would be ok. However, his Sensei had told me prior to the class that Bucky would be getting a patch as well. Bucky came to me after getting his stripe, very upset, and said "I want one of those." I told him not to worry about it. Being the mother that I am I asked the Sensei about it after most of the other parents had left. He informed me that he completely forgot to get the patch out of his case but that Bucky was supposed to get a patch. He did go get the correct one and gave it to Bucky. Talk about a proud little boy! Any guesses about which pass he got?? If you guessed "Top Puncher" you are correct. Imagine that!

My Hahahaha Moment

Buck and I like Bucky's Lil Dragon sensei. Well, yesterday sealed the deal for me. About halfway through the class, the door opened. When that happens we all look because that means someone has to pee. Not yesterday. The sensei brought a child to his mother and said "it's just not working today." He then went back into the classroom sans child. It was AWESOME! The kid was kicked out of class because he was distracting the others. Now the sensei has been very patient with this child but apparently yesterday was the straw. After class, he gave me a report of Bucky's abilities. Apparently Bucky is doing very well. "He talks too much when he's next to (kid's name)" but once they were separated he did great. I don't know where he gets excessive talking from *cough* but I'm thrilled that he is doing so well and enjoys it. They are apparently learning new moves because he stopped in the middle of the parking lot to show me :). After moving him to the side, I watched and appropriately Oooh-ed and Aaahhh-ed.

Lil Dragons

Family Day at Lil Dragons was last Thursday. Parents were allowed to enter the classroom and film/take pictures of the class and all the activities. Bucky was very excited that his mama was watching. He kept looking at me with the biggest grin on his face. Sometimes he just melts my heart. Here are some pics I took to show what he has learned.

Here he is getting his green stripe put on his belt by Sensei Mark, his teacher. He was very excited and has sense mentioned this stripe several times. All I know is that he has two very proud parents!
