Wordless Wednesday #137 | Training the Dragon.

The little man enjoyed karate so much that he decided this is going to be a long-time thing and not just a summer activity. Which is good, since I want my son to be completely bully-proof.
Learning side kicks...
So now, our Saturday mornings are spent at K2LC, where the boy (still) trains with Sensei Danny and Senpai Louie.
And finally, a roundhouse!
The kids are now learning the ropes of front kicks, side kicks, and roundhouse kicks. I can't wait to see my little dragon do a proper spinning roundhouse in the future! :)
Senpai Louie, the Little Dragon, and Sensei Danny.
Karate teaches that the real enemy lies within. Get interested in the pursuit, not just the possession. The race, not just the goal. Effort is everything. - Chotoku Kyan

I would love my kids to learn karate, too. And you know what? I want to learn it myself! Hopefully one day soon...

Martial Arts is a great thing to get involved in! And it will be good if they can really stick with it until they've grown. It's a very good skill to have. My girls are both in Tae Kwon Do. When my sons are old enough, they will do it too. Someday, I will too. And when my husband finds the time, he will too. I think that in this day and age, being able to defend yourself is a must!

I love the spiritual side of martial arts. It seems like a great activity for kids to develop themselves in powerful ways.

A system of self-development using kicks and punches. Its quick, sharp actions involve snapping movements of the joints, which means that kids need to warm up carefully.Best Karate in Connecticut
