Karate has long been an ongoing sport at Urukundo. At first, it was a project for the community.
The teacher asked if they could use our basketball court Saturday mornings in good weather and Hope House when the weather did not cooperate (rain). From that beginning, karate expanded and is now taught in our school.
Earning belts is a sign of progress. There are six belt colors: white (the starting belt),orange, blue, yellow, green, brown and black (the ultimate goal). Each belt is earned. At our school, there is a celebration where the class and their achievements are recognized and belts are awarded.
I am honored to have been invited to take part in this celebration.
