Black Belt Promo Pictures

Alright fellas, here's a few of the pictures that were taken on the day of my promotion test. I apologize if a few are a tad blurry, but my son was taking the pictures lol. Anyway, hope you enjoy them!

Here's a few of the various one-step sparring techniques which are designed for self defense in case of an attack. There were 10 we had to do, but after black belt there's another 30 or so to learn.

Of the 3 required technical breaks, the first one was the flying kick + punch through two boards. Thankfully a friend of mine was standing in front of me to capture the second pic because my son was still in the back and took his pic from the side.





My second break was a power back kick through two boards placed together. Again, that same friend captured this picture.



My final break was a power knife hand through concrete. Because this was my first time breaking concrete, I was only allowed to break one slab, even though I could probably have done more. Everyone's first time is one and no more. Still though, stepping up to a piece of concrete for the first time is a rush, but now that I've done it, I can't wait to do more at my next promo test. I apologize for the blurriness of the second picture.
