Adam's first Moo Gong Do test

Tonight was Adam's very first testing for his Moo Gong Do training. It was intensive and focused. He did such an awesome job! I am very proud of him! He even got his first opportunity to break a board with his foot. He was quite proud of himself! Here are some pictures from the 2 hour testing of white belts and orange belts.

What a neat experience! There is much "building up" that occurs in this art... lots of confidence boosting, lots of "believe in yourself". Of course, Adam knows that his confidence must ultimately rest in Jesus, but a healthy dose of self confidence is necessary as well. That is what he is getting here. His belt ceremony is Sat morning. I will definitely post pictures, as I expect he will be beaming ear to ear when he gets that yellow belt and his sparring equipment! Stay tuned!
