Martial Arts Evaluation

Makayla is getting evaluated to see if she's ready for martial arts since she's pretty young but we think she's coordinated and ready!  We found out about this school and instructor through friends from her preschool.  Very highly recommended and even better that the instructor is her preschool teacher's boyfriend, Sensei Mike!

Here she is getting started.  We headed over after her My Gym class so not sure if she'll be tired or not but she's thrilled about it.  Something new I think.  She bowing to the American Flag here before they start.  So cute!
Check out the form on those arms and the legs ready for a kick!  I think she's gonna be a natural!
I believe this school is pretty famous since I've seen their tree logo often.

Another great form picture with her horse stance.  Not bad for her first time ever trying it out.  She didn't say one word to Sensei Mike but she loved him and gave him tons of high 5's and followed all his instructions.  He thinks she's totally ready and going to be awesome.  It's the shy one's in the beginning that are usually his best students is what he told us.  We'll see.  We're going to think about it and get back to him since it's pretty pricey and we'll have to give up on some other activities to fit this into our schedule.  We're so glad this went well and we're so proud of her!
