Mommies little Karate Kid

Justin's in Karate! This was his 3rd class and he is doing great! I love how his Sensai teaches. She makes them do things right the first time and she makes Karate fun but serious at the same time. Funny how that works but it does. If a child is misbehaving she makes them do 10 push-ups and if they still misbehave they get to sit in time-out. After class if they have missed something from sitting in time-out she teaches them that step after she's had a talk with the child. She's wonderful! Luckily Justin has been good and has been the only boy in his class to not get in trouble. He's a good kid! I love how karate teaches respect and discipline. They also learn confidence and build self esteem from it all, too! He's so exhausted after class from concentrating and learning that we have to go straight home and have some rest time. It really takes a lot out of him. He's loving it though. He's in the Little Tiger group which is ages 3-5 and he goes on Tuesday's and Thursday's. He's also learning to count in Japanese which I think is way cool. I don't think Jeromy has thought about it but if Justin sticks with karate, he'll be able to finally fling dad over his shoulder. It'll be fun to see that.
