Jo's 9th Kup Yellow Belt

April 26 Jo tested for her 9th Kup Yellow Belt in Tae kwon Do.
Howdy can this girl stretch!

She spotted the sign in class that said "Belt Testing, end of month" and asked if she could test for her Yellow Belt.  This being new to us we had no idea how this process worked.  So Jo (Yes, Jo did this on her own) spoke to her instructor and asked if she could test and she was told "It is by invitation only".  He informed her that she would be invited when he felt she was ready to test.

Jo has been working very hard at learning her Chung Ji and after hearing it was by invitation only she worked even harder.

A week or two went by and she was then invited to test!
The glow on Jo's face was priceless!
She first had to perform her Chung Ji followed by Combination Sparring.
(1:45 minute video if you would like to watch her)

Presenting: Jo
9th Kup Yellow Belt!
And then off to ice-cream to celebrate!
It was a GRAND evening shared with Connie & Rachelle too!

We are so very proud of Jo.  She actually asks questions on her own in class.  Advocates for herself in class with out even asking us to do so for her.  And she is excited to go to class each and every night.

CONGRATULATIONS JO!!!
