It all started about 3 years ago when one of my friends had a birthday party at Action Karate New Britain. After the party was done I got inspired to start taking a white belt class. Over the years I have getting higher belts on my way to my junior black belt. After about 2 years and 9 monthes I am now one belt away to my black belt test and after the test comes the black belt. I think there is a very speacial thing that you need to know to pass your black belt test which are the qualities of a black belt. They are intensity,focus, power, speed and acurracy. The black belt spectacular is where you get your black belt. Right now, I am preparing for my black belt test and it is going perfectly. In the past years I think I am inproving on the form of my katas, self defences, and my punches and kicks.

I think my favorite thing to do in karate is being on the junior demo team. You can't imagine how hard I worked to get on the demo team. It was all worth it once I got to see all the cool stuff that the demo team does. If you want to be on the demo team you always have to try your best and be a good role model. 

Another fun thing karate does is tournaments. Here is a small clip of me during my most recent tournament. This tournament was about 6 monthes ago when I was a brown/black belt.That tournament I was performing Staff kata.
