Mathieu is now a Yellow Belt Kyokushin karate student, and he surprisingly have the skills to show it. I went with him to see him pass his belt and was impressed by how good he is with his katas, especially for a seven years old. I'm not sure I would be able to do so well. To pass his belt he had to spar with some kids of his group and that was ok because he was not allowed to touch. His last fight changed everything because as one of the highest grade in his class he got to spar with a black belt who he was allowed to physically as hard as he could. I've never seen such a smile on a kid's face...
After going to yellow, four parent groups and a bunch of kids went to have a celebratory lunch at Score's. I can't state how much fun we had. So did the kids. A real nice time.
We came back home to a surprise. Sabrina and Suzanne had made an excellent batch of cookies.
