karate

We enrolled Juma in a tiny tots karate class, for kids 3-5 to learn a little discipline and self-defense ideas. He's pretty dang cute in his new gi (uniform, size triple zero), and he's already got different commands down--attention, fighting stance, kick, punch.



At this age, they don't worry too much about technique, so it's fun to see all the 4-year old arms and legs flailing around, and watch them try to master obstacle courses where they have to do things like--and this is really hard for them--walk backwards around cones.
