BLUE BELT

Blue Belt is the is the Fifth belt in the style of KENPO. This is, I would have to say, the most fun belt in our style. At this point, those below you in the style, start to look to you as more of a mentor rather than a peer.... It's really kind of a neat feeling. Also, the instructor in some circumstances, may start asking for your assistance in aiding others in their learning. (COOL HUH?)
Well anyway, here they are....
