Red Belt


Congratulations to Pete on getting his red belt at karate.

The red belt test is the first of the very difficult tests. Pete had to pass a fitness test, including running several miles. He also had to fight in sparring matches, and demonstrate all of the forms and combinations for the white, gold, orange, green, purple, and blue belts.

In the picture above, Pete is putting on his sparring equipment.

If Pete is able to continue with his progress, the next belt would be Brown belt, followed by Black belt.

By the way, there is a new rule when he is fighting with Dad and Sam which is that Pete is not allowed to kick anyone with a full-force kick.
