This was Ben's first ever tournament. He was the youngest competitor there! There were four kids in his 4-6 year old age division. Here he is shaking hands and bowing with all the black belts in attendance as he receives his medal for forms. It was a fourth place medal out of four kids, but he is still VERY PROUD of that medal! He also received 1st place for flag sparring!!! The video is so funny and I really hope to have it on my blog soon for you! Great job Ben!!!
Ben smiling from the sidelines and the judges tally up the scores.
Tatiana is pictures here, the fourth kid in. There were 6 kids in her age division. She rocked it in sparring! I was very impressed with our little girl! She won 1st place in point sparring and 4th place in flag sparring. She is so fun to watch. Our little angel is no one to mess with! I definitely want her on my side if I ever get in a fight. She went up against some very capable and awfully brutal boys and won! Yeah, she can hold her own!
Nick is the fifth kid in, standing next to the kid who is bending over. There were also six kids in his age division. He did great! He earned 1st place in flag sparring and 3rd place in point sparring. It was a tough competition! I love watching Nick! He is so cool under pressure. He is very calculated, he patiently waits for the right moment to strike all the while he is blocking kicks and punches with a calm determination. Very cool!

Wow! Such impressive stats for the Tolman gang! I still remember fondly taking the kids to their lesson when I was out there visiting. Pretty neat that they are so accomplished now!
Love you all,
Grandma B
