Last month Eli was invited to another belt testing ceremony to receive his "gold" belt. Once the kids reach this level, they are required to wear sparring gear to class each week. The gear includes a helmet, chest protector, gloves, shin protectors, foot protectors, jock strap and cup (he-he!) and mouthpiece (uh-oh!)
Eli was fine with everything--except the mouthpiece. Let's just say it was just like "pulling teeth." After 1 hour of tears, threats, and screaming, Eli was finally able to conquer his fear of gagging and proudly wears the mouthpiece to sparring days each week. Whew!!!
