Kia!!!

we enrolled natalia in self-defense/karate class a few weeks ago.  (mostly because the flyer said it would help with "respecting parents", "discipline", and "focus". sha, right.)

she really likes it and went to all classes except for one.  she earned her gold belt on thursday night.  she was very proud...

demonstrating kicks (that dude is sensei stan):

showing a double wrist grab escape maneuver:

getting her certificate and gold belt:

she did a very good job...we're so proud!:
