Weapons class at karate is definitely been a highlight of the week for the boys! This past week they were particularly thrilled because they have now started training with nun chucks!
Their karate gear bags are quite a sight (and a load, for that matter). Sais, tonfas, and now nun chucks. Fighting gear in blue. Fighting gear in red. Helmets. Bos.... :)
Out of all the weapons I have been the most apprehensive of the nun chucks - it seems to me you could easily hit yourself in the back of the head or on the front of the face with a fast swinging piece of wood. Sure enough, we brought home the nun chucks and within one minute Jake had attacked his own head! I suggested he wear a helmet to practice while getting used to them, but he assured me that was unnecessary. I hope his brain agrees.
That being said, they are already getting much better with them. And having a great time learning new skills and defense. I love it - and so does Lincoln. He is quite jealous and wonders when he will get his own weapons. I told him it will be a little while.... !
