Cole has been asking to take Karate for about a year now. We had been telling him that he had to be 5 to do it and then once he turned 5 we continued to put it off for a little while. Karate is a big commitment for us (2 days a week, which for us right now is a lot) but this fall when he was still asking to do it we decided to give it a try. Cole's friend, Jackson, was also just starting so we thought it would be great timing. These photos were taken on his first day, before he had his uniform. To say that Cole loves Karate would be an understatement. It is amazing all that a group of 4-6 year olds can learn in a 45 minute class! Not only are the kids learning basic Karate moves, they are also learning a lot about honor and respect, discipline and hard work. The instructors are very fun and cool yet very strict as well which has been great. Cole has loved every class (we have been to 4 now) and has even earned his first stripe on his belt. I love watching him-not only is he improving each time but he has the biggest smile on his face while he is doing it.
