Karate Chop!




Canaan had his first karate lesson today. I thought it would be like an into-to-karate, learn-the-basics sort of class. But apparently it is an on-going class and you just jump in where the class is at. Fortunately, they do offer a tutorial to help catch up the new students. Canaan was a little bit nervous when we came in. We were a few minutes late in arriving because it took over 25 minutes to get through the pick-up line at school, and the class was already in the middle of a floor routine with the instructor calling out the names of different stances. We checked in with the instructor's assistant and she showed Canaan where his spot would be. He jumped right in and tried to follow along with the class and ran the drills to best of his ability. I'm excited to get him in to the tutorial as soon as I can so he can really keep up. He's really excited--next week they will order his Gi (the karate uniform).
