Martial Arts Competition

Bennett competed in Penn Yan, NY today in 2 categories: forms and sparring. He got a bronze medal in forms (four direction) and a silver in sparring. Good job Bennett!!! That brings his overall medal count to:
1 gold
2 silver
2 bronze

He's fairly close to earning his green belt as well. I'll try to post about that when it comes. When we started him at his current martial arts studio he was a orange belt. In Ohio you start at white, then yellow, then orange. In NY you start at white, then orange, then yellow. So when he wore his orange belt they thought he was a whole belt level lower than he actually was so he had to re-earn his belt level, so that's why it seems like he hasn't done a lot of advancing. Anyways, he's loving it!

This is "Four Direction" form
