Tonight Nate earned his second karate stripe, orange, also know as the rank of 14th kyu in the art of Shotokan Karate-do. (From what I can tell, you don't begin to earn actual belts until after you turn 8 an can truly demonstrate the kata. For now, Nate is a Little Dragon earning stripes for his white belt.) He has been practicing karate for nearly a year at our gym under the guidance of Sensi Guido Fischer. After a rough go earning the yellow stripe (performance anxiety), Nate did a great job and was very excited to be there. Sensi Guido is an amazing teacher and is fantastic with the kids. Nate's buddy Collin also earned his orange stripe.
