This Sunday Milla had her karate exam for her blue belt! A little bit nervous and a little bit excited we headed for the arena. We met up with Rachel - they are good friends, in the same class at school and in the same karate club; it was good to have a friend there on the big day!

| Rachel and Milla getting ready for action |
 |
| Lining up in front of the examiners |
 |
| Here we go - first up is showing off their Kata |
 |
| And then the sparring. Here with opponent 1 out of 3 |
 |
| Opponent 2 was a fair bit bigger than Milla, but she was fearless and went for it! |
 |
| Opponent number 3 was an easy match :D |
 |
| She did very well and here she gets her blue belt from her examiner |
 |
| Stoneface! |
 |
| Her examiner commended her for being focused, determined and showing courage. |
 |
| Yippiiiiii hooooooraaaaayyyyyy - I did it! And little Ted was watching every little step of course! |
 |
| Time to celebrate: she chose Sushi for lunch! |
 |
| Mmmmm, salmon nigiri! |
 |
| And for dessert: Bracegirdles' strawberry chocolate dip and hot chilli chocolates! |
 |
| The girls said: oh, look, B for Besta! |
 |
| Melkebart! |
Congratulations on you Blue Belt, miss Milla! You are such a brave girl!
Way to go Milla! Ava is going to have to work hard to catch up. She's still on the white belt with one black stripe.
ReplyDeleteOh, and what better way to celebrate than with sushi train and Bracegirdles. We all miss going to Bracegirdles with you guys. A chilli hot chocolate would be lovely :)
