Hi-yah!

For two years Dylan has been talking pretty consistantly about taking a karate class. There is one at our local rec center that starts at age 6. So she is finally old enough for the class. For her 6th birthday, her grandparents paid for a series of classes and her gi (outfit). I watched her first class and she seemed to be enjoying it. Afterward I asked if she liked it. Her response was, "I guess it was fun, but there was too much bowing and we didn't get to break any wood."

I knew it...for her, karate was all about the outfit and breaking wood.

A couple of weeks into it and she is having a good time but asked me again today when they are going to break some wood. I wonder what she plans to do with this skill once acquired.
