Seth's First Karate Class

Seth had his first pre-karate class last night, while I was getting the biggest kick out of watching him have to actually listen to (and follow) instructions for a change. Poor Sam.


(Seth's on the right in the white-striped shirt with black bottoms)

During warm-up, they raced on the floor as lizards to loosen their bodies up. I was laughing too hard to capture when they were oranguatans, which was even funnier if you can believe it.





Seth learning his first kata (I'm still learning the proper terminology), as he kept moving up closer and closer to Sensei Tower.

Chris took funikoshi growing up and has been doing it off and on the last few years, which is what our great pal Detective Tower (aka Sambo, Uncle Sam, Sensei Tower, etc...) is a black belt in. Hopefully now that Seth is in this class Chris will start attending more regularly so he can earn more colored belts.

Plus, I'm not complaining with how tight his abs get while attending the adult classes regularly...

All in all, I think this will be a fantastic class for Seth to go to because he learns to listen, gets to yell and kick, see his friends, all in an orderly fashion. Now I just need to get him a gi.

He will be breaking bricks and boards in no time.

In first grade, our youngest tried a free class at the local karate place (I don't remember what type exactly), and the other kids were just too rowdy for him. Now that his little brother and sister are older an very rowdy, he would probably be ok with the craziness of the class.
