The Mexican Chuck Norris

Meet the Real Mexican Chuck Norris, my awesome Sensei Jose Rodriguez!  He really is awesome, and for the record my kids are Mexican so let the record be straight that I LOVE Mexicans.  We took this shot yesterday at the Dojo after we had just earned our Yellow Belts.  I can't tell you how much my family and I love Jose and all the Sensei's at our Dojo.  And if this shot is any indicator, he is truly AWESOME!  He's a third degree and if I ever became famous he'd be my personal bodyguard.  Thanks for you all do Jose!

Yesterday I beat up a Black Belt

Yesterday was my test to advance to a Yellow Belt in Kenpo Karate.  It was pretty hard but I'm sure they are only get harder as I advance further.  After the test my Sensei Jose allowed some fun shots since he's such a cool guy, so technically I got to beat up a 3rd degree black belt...with his permission of course.  Jose is so fast that when I try and block his punches he usually can get in three before my block even gets close.  It's humbling but OH SO MUCH FUN!  Thanks to Sensei's Jose, Andrew, Hunter, and Laura for all you guys do for all of us.  It's been an amazing time and we can't wait to do more!
