🥋 The White Belt Challenge
“Mom, can we stop and get some polish on the way home?
I earned this one. I want to take care of it and keep it like new.”
He had the same number of trophies as most kids at home for youth sports. The little gold plastic guy kicking a soccer ball or dribbling a basketball.
But this was different, and even at the age of five he knew it.
He knew it even before he watched most of the other kids who had been in his division leave empty handed.
That was my son’s first martial arts tournament.
He’d worked hard — nervous, focused, determined in that quiet way only kids can be.
When the day ended, he took second place and received a medal.
On the way home, he held it in his hands for a long time and asked us to stop for polish. Luckily Fred Meyer’s had some.
He still has that medal today.
I just watched him pack it in the things he is taking with him as he steps into the world on his own some 16 years later.
In a world full of screens, shortcuts, and participation trophies, that moment reminded me what kids really need:
The chance to earn something.
That’s what our White Belt Challenge is all about.
👊 What You Should Know
This isn’t a free trial. It’s a moment of change.
Your child will join one class, follow directions, show respect, and stay engaged. After they do all that, they’ll break a board—bold and loud—in front of the class, and earn their white belt on the spot.
If you like what you see, we’ll talk about enrollment. If it’s not a fit, no worries—your child still walks away with their white belt knowing they earned it. We don’t give them away here.
