14 Jan 2018 - Javier's Taekwando (Red Belt) Grading

Javier went for his Taekwando Red Belt grading this afternoon at Toa Payoh Sports Centre.  Due to the holiday season in the past one month when there was no class for quite a number of weeks as well as our family overseas trip last December, Javier only attended 3-4 lessons prior to today's grading for Red Belt.  In fact, most of his classmates decided to give this round a miss but Javier was determined to get it through.  As such, he had been practising at home by watching Youtube videos.

As usual, they did their warm-up exercises and practice outside of the Sports Centre before going in for the actual grading examination.

Following videos show how Javier did during the examination.  Personally I think he did pretty ok though without much power and aggressiveness.  We will only know the result in a few weeks time.  If he passes, he will be the youngest kid in his class to achieve red belt black tip.  In fact, he's already the youngest among all the red belts currently.  Well done, Javier!
