karate

Well it was really neat. This was the first time Kenzie was in the actual karate studio (dojo). The parents got to come in too and watch. I was really impressed watching what all the kids had learned at their school karate course. It was done at lunchtime in teh school gym every Wednesday for the last 4 months. The Sensei explained that the course at the school is different from the real karate since they don't have the mats and the proper space they have at the dojo. So Kenzie didn't actually get her yellow belt yesterday... but she was awarded a white belt with a yellow stripe.

I was still amazed at everything she knew how to do and I was impressed by how well all the young kids focused and paid attention.

















Here they all are with their new belts


And here are a few extra random pics from yesterday.

Kenzie rollersblading in the house – her newest past-time.

In any case, Kenzie has shown a real interest in karate so I think we are going to sign her up in the real program where she’ll go two or three times a week (and she'll get the white outfit which she is excited aout). Sebby is also signed up for an “assessment” next Friday. I’m not sure if he is ready for karate. He is not very good at following direction and he has the shortest attention span imaginable… but those are some of the reasons I want to get him into the program. We’ll see what comes out of it.
