Noble 12th birthday party

Noble had his birthday party at Champion Martial Arts and it was a total blast! He invited a bunch of friends and they learned a little karate and played dodge pad (like dodge ball).


The birthday tradition is to let the birthday boy wear a black belt for the day. But the black belt they have is too small for Noble so Mr. Lopez let Noble wear his second degree black belt. It meant a lot to Noble to be wearing not just a black belt, but Mr. Lopez's belt.


The instructors had made a throne out of practice pads for Noble to sit on. Only he could sit on it and while they had their cupcakes all his friends crowded around him.


Another birthday tradition at Champion Martial Arts (like the black belt) is to let the birthday boy cut the cake (or cupcake) with Mr. Lopez's sword. Mr. Lopez said it was a first that he let the birthday boy do it without help.


The treats.
