Karate

Emily has joined her little friend Riley in Karate class. After 4 years of dancing school, she wanted to try something different. Emily LOVES it and I have signed her up for a 6 month class. I love the discipline it teaches and the principles of a "Black Belt" school. Her face beams the whole time we are there. She usually enjoys the activities I sign her up for, but there is something different about this. SHE LOVES IT!! It is such a confidence booster too. I think I love it as much as she does!!






The instructor is fantastic and the children recite the "black belt" creed during the class. It is against the "black belt" creed to use your hands on another person unless self-defense. So for those of you who feel that karate fosters violence.....it is the total opposite of that. It is great for kids who need help with focusing, confidence, and following directions....all things that Emily could benefit from.
