Whether in church, acting like a miniature martial arts master, or clowning for the camera, the 5-year-old keeps your attention.

HOW YA LIKE ME NOW? Armon Nettey (above) is shown during a recent church dedication.
There are a few different sides to Armon Nettey, a 5-year-old resident of Takoma Park near Washington, D.C., in Montgomery County.

In church, he can be an impeccably-dressed, well-mannered youth whose demeanor belies his age.

In a "martial arts" uniform, as he calls it, Nettey can display discipline, speed, athleticism and power.

And put a camera in front of his face, and Nettey allows the clown in him to emerge. 

DigitalSports' cameras recently caught up to this amazing kid and his mother, Nekiyo Nettey, following a martial arts demonstration at the studio in which Armon trains in Silver Spring of Montgomery County.

Armon Nettey will turn 6 years old on July 24.
