Samuel has been begging to take karate for over a year now. We had told him he had to wait till soccer was over because we were only going to let him do one activity at a time. We finally signed him up in September and he is loving it! He asks me every morning if he has karate that night. Several friends from church take karate at the same place also. It is Christian owned and they have open and close in prayer and have a short devotional in the middle. They also focus a lot on teaching respect and manners. I finally remembered to take the camera with me and got a few pictures of him.
Practicing his roll
Stretching before class. He’s the one on the left with his legs in the air
Bowing at the start of class. He’s on the far left again.
Running to warm up
Doing push-ups…sort of
Getting ready to practice his kicks
Roundhouse kick
Side kick
Sparring. He was supposed to be practicing getting out of grabs but also trying to push her off the mat
Now he has to beat Sensei
Huddling up to pray at the end of class
We didn’t know Samuel would be earning his second stripe that night. He was very excited! One more stripe and he gets to hang his yellow belt!
