Karate Action

Per Katie's request, I have more Karate pictures for you today. I finally remembered to take the camera in with me. They are getting the kids used to wearing their pads now so at the end of class everyone gets their gear on and they get to fight the instructor.



Here is Jayke getting his gloves on. For some reason, today there were a couple more kids in the class and others observing. Gavin, Isaiah, and Jaykeb are the three older boys so they did most of the fighting. They were calling themselves the Fantastic Four in this picture below.



Chase is the other little boy in the picture. He just came back from having a broken foot so he is a little afraid to jump in there with them and really go at it. Isaiah is in the blue helmet, Gavin in the full Karate uniform, Jayke in the white helmet, and Chase in the red. There was another little boy in there but he didn't want to wear the gear. I thought it was really cute when the three older boys were fighting how they had on red, white, and blue helmets. Hakim has to have a lot of patience to work with this crew. He gets down on the mat and lets them all beat the crap out of him. The kids really love him because he is fabulous with them.



As you can see, it was very hard to get pictures of Jayke where you could see his face. It wasn't like they were going to pose for me, but you can get the idea of what is like in there sometimes. They go through their blocks and kicks before they do all this fighting. They told me the other day that Jayke and Isaiah are going to move up soon. They have fitted him for his uniform and it has been ordered, size triple zero. He is going to look so cute, I can't wait!
