Nicole tests for her yellow belt

On Friday, March 13th, Nicole tested for her low yellow belt. The white belt students have to do their Form and their One-Steps.

Her favorite thing to do in class is kick the red bags.

But she especially likes to practice her running jump kicks. She has amazing force for someone so little. She kicks and hits harder than the two boys in her level.

The kids who were testing bow in.

Nicole and Ross wait their turn.

Nicole, Ross and another girl testing for her black belt all performed the white belt form at the same time. I was not prepared for that (I thought they would be doing it individually) so didn't get any pictures.

Nicole is doing her first one-step.

The fellow student here is just giving Nicole a target for her one-steps.

We didn't get any feedback after the testing, so I guess we'll find out on Monday if she passed and gets her yellow belt. I'm sure she did, she's ready to move on to new forms, and she's looking forward to doing contact sparing.
