He did a great job, and we do have this video below, but the phone messed up the video of the most exciting part! In this video he is breaking the red styro boards. After this, Master Seo brought out real plywood, and Nicky tried once, then twice and and on the third kick he broke the board! He had never tried with real wood, and everyone clapped and cheered, it was so exciting. I am so bummed we lost the video, sometimes trusting your Iphone is just not the way to go!!!
We were so proud of him (and some of us were crying when he broke the plywood), my heart was breaking for him because he was soooooo nervous, he had messed up a couple of things prior to this and he knew it.
While the other girl who was doing her test, I saw Nicky put his hands together, pray and bless himself. He proceeded to get up and do his final "Number 1" which is a combination of all the moves, and he did great!
He made his yellow belt and we are so proud of him. Master Seo had some really nice things to say about Nic's dedication, that even though he is so tall and long he still holds his form, and overall how happy he was that Nicky tested out.
They were judged by a SERIOUS black belt from Frankfurt, who spoke no English, but was very nice. Nic received an official passport with his certification and two certificates, plus the board he broke. It was a great lesson for him in dedication, moving past your fears and most importantly, GIVING IT TO GOD. I have never been so proud when I saw him pray, and it really brought me to tears.
Congrats Nicky!
