Today was the official Black Belt ceremony where the girls received their World Tae Kwon Do Federation belts. The section in Korean states that the belts came from Master Chulho Kim.
The girls' names are so long that we wondered if their entire name would be on each belt. Much to their delight the girls whole names are there!
Master Kim put on each belt and then congratulated each student.
Thanking and honoring your parents is part of the Korean tradition. The girls performed a bow to the ground to each parent. It was quite touching to be honored this way.
Many new belts were also awarded tonight. Sam and I did not test tonight. We should be ready by next month to test for red belt, which is the last belt before Jr Black Belt.
Grandma sent beautiful roses to congratulate the girls on their amazing accomplishment. The girls were thrilled to each get their own bouquet.
Here are my brand new Black Belts! Greg and I are so proud of them!
Very cool, Deb. Great photos too ;)
