Jackson has really taken to karate. He's doing great. He applied for and got approved to be in Black Belt Leadership. Which allows him to start training with weapons, wear a blue Gi, attend Leadership conferences, and help lead his class.
To get into Black Belt Leadership, he had to fill out an application, put together a 'before karate' vs. 'after I'm a black belt' comparison board, and pass a one on one interview with his instructor. Most of the other comparison boards have a few pictures or things written on them so his instructor loved that he completely filled his board. She was also impressed with how well he executed moves during the one on one interview.
Last Tuesday Jackson was presented with his Black Belt Leadership in front of his class. My brother and his girlfriend came with us that day. (Thanks to my brother I was finally able to get him in karate, since he's helping me pay for it) Jackson has gotten to help lead the class twice already. I love the look on his face, he is so proud of himself and he's working hard to prepare for the tournament in May.
