Eidan’s First Karate Graduation
|
|
For months Eidan’s been dying to start going to karate class, like his big brother Kai, and after we got back from Prague, he finally got his chance. He’s actually technically still too young, but he insisted with the instructor that “I big now and I ready,” so he was given a chance in one class to see how he’d do, and he did well. He’s about a year younger than the rest of the kids in his class – what he lacks in sophistication he makes up for with enthusiasm.
Kai’s been going for about 4 years now, and at Friday night’s graduation he earned a black stripe on his brown belt (red is the next belt, then black). The forms he’s learning now are considerably more complex than the ones he was doing last year. Unfortunately, I was home sick with a cold, and Maria had her hands full with Eidan after his portion of the graduation was done, so we don’t have any video of Kai this time around.
