It was an ordinary class throughout, starting off with warm-up exercises and then some drills involving tumbling and falling safely...
At the end of the class, Sensei came to the front of the room, and recognized Ben's work in the last months...
Ben was called to the front of the room to receive his diploma...
...and his new belt...
The school has a nice tradition in which the other students line up and shake the hand of (and in some cases give hugs to) the advancing student...We're very proud of Ben, for all of his hard work!
