Delia passed her brown belt exam today, and like her sister before her, now rejoices in the honorific "Ms. _____" before her name.

Delia is awarded her brown belt

Excellent news. Pass along my congratulations, if they'd be welcome. (If she thinks your invisible friends are weird or intrusive, don't push me on her.)

Excellent!

Every time you report on their progress, I continue to be SO impressed that kids as young as yours are ranked so highly in karate already. Ms Delia should be proud. Is she glad she waited to do the test?

As for the rest of your day - well, I'm glad to see that you got some rest. :P When do you leave - Mon?

Congrats to her! I'm curious is gaining "Ms." status a family thing, or a "dojo" (please insert the correct term) thing?

By-the-way, I'm re-reading The Wild Swans, and this might be the first time since reading the manuscript for you.

It's the custom of the dojo to address everyone at brown belt or above as Mr. or Ms. I know that it is true of National Karate nationwide, and probably other karate or Tae Kwon Do dojos have similar customs.

In our school (Tang Soo Do, Mi Guk Kwan), we wait until black belt rank, but yeah, it's cool, and the kids here all groove on being called Mr. or Ms., and sir or ma'am.

And congrats to Delia! That is one cool achievement!

Hurray for Delia! :D

I would never be able to balance well enough to do those kicks. She seems to do them really well!
