Liam poses with Mr. Gago after earning his Yellow belt. I would have to but in and use my Super-Momma powers if Mr. Gago ever really was sparring with Liam. Or any of the boys. This XMA black belt scares me - but he is very nice.
Mr. Gago and Noble
Again - I am just not sure if Mr. Gago appreciates the Momma Bear in me!
Mr. Lopez and Liam.
Mr. Lopez and Noble ham it up after class.
Mr. Lopez does a great job of teaching the kids not only Karate but discipline and respect while making it fun at the same time. He goofs off with the kids, but makes it clear when it is time to be serious. Even as serious and formal as graduation was, he and Noble got in a touched you last contest that lasted the duration of class. He lets the kids try and attack him, and plays along for a bit, but he always takes them down and reminds them he is a black belt and has been doing Karate for 20 years.
Mr. Lopez also allows Noble and Liam to help out in Hewy's class. They are learning a great deal of leadership from that experience twice a week. He said after graduation "I'm not married and I don't have kids, you all are my family." Liam then asked if we could have him over for dinner. Maybe someday.
