Brendan begins karate

The past few weeks we've been taking Brendan to karate class Thursday nights. Much to his pleasure, he even received his white belt!
He is very excited to be a karate student, but not always excited about participating the entire class.

Dragon wrist bands

I created this pattern from the dragon on some of my karate school's shirts. It looks better on the shirts, but still ok. I redid the pattern so that the dragon is about half the size. Hopefully that will look a bit better.

Karate IS life!

My husband and I both take classes at Reid Family Martial Arts. I am a second degree brown. I've been doing martial arts for 3 years now, and very much enjoy it. I also do arnise, the filipino art of fighting with short sticks. I am yearning to learn the long staff, or jo, and anticipate beginning that once I attain my student black. Which should hopefully be at or around my 35th birthday, in June.
