Mashpee, MA - Today was a big day for the Academy's first group of Little Ninjas. Testing day. It wasn't easy but Emily, Tyler, Jaden, Jagger, and Andreas earned their white sashes after demonstrating their skills for Sifu Mike and Tai Si Hing Tim. Charlie, who joined kung fu before the Little Ninjas program, tested with the class though he earned his white sash last August.
All between the ages of 4 and 7, each student - at one point or another - showed focus, physical ability, and knowledge - most adorably was Tyler's "The Way of the Natural and Spontaneous Fist."
Kung Fu means hard work (or accomplishment through effort) and these kids worked hard. It paid off - they finished class with white sashes.
Sifu Mike reminded them this is the first of ten steps to black sash. Good step.
