Orange Belt and Sparring...

After a little less than 3 months...Charley has already made it to Orange Belt at MKA! We are so proud of her dedication, her enthusiasm, her focus and most of all, her amazing attitude! Karate is not easy, and she has improved by leaps and bounds from the kid who started karate just a few months ago. And now that she is an Orange Belt - she gets to do the Sparring classes as well as the Weapons classes. Add that to the Gymnastics and the Belt classes 4 days a week.....she's unstoppable!
