Karate Practice


Bentley and Jake are preparing for a karate tournament in Las Vegas in early April. They have taken a few private lesson from the sensei. They have mixed feelings about private lessons because the sensei works them hard--they have to hold their kata stances for as long as possible which causes their muscles to burn which they don't like. Kara talked to some of the other parents and got the same story: karate class = fun and karate lesson = too much work.

During one private lesson Kara took two old yoga mats and marked on them with duct tape where the correct foot positions are for different stances so that the boys could better practice at home. It has been quite amusing watching the younger two boys attempt the stances!
