Karate Kid

Zack started karate in January. Sensei Guido (pronounced Gee-do, not Gwee-do!) has been doing karate for many years and is a wonderful teacher with lots of patience! Karate is perfect for Zack. He is mellow enough to sit still and listen and he watches every move Sensei does. He has a little trouble with balance, but doing karate is really helping that. It is so cute to watch Zack and know how much he loves it! Drew actually really likes it too, and goes around the house punching and kicking, saying "Ich (one in Japanese), kick, bow!" Too funny.


They do testing for Zack's age every three months so the kids can see that they are progressing and can feel good about that. Zack had his first test only about a month after he had started, but he still did great! He got his yellow stripe to wear on his white belt.

Down block front stance (Don't ask me how to say that in Japanese...)

A proud moment
