3 stripes!



kpp received his third stripe this afternoon!!!!! are you asking what stripe 3 means? oh you're not? well i'll tell you anyway....my son takes martial arts classes

<------oooh ooh ooh...that would be how he looks...in the "lil dragon" suites...the purple and white...

..but he takes these classes every monday and wednesday afternoon...he has been doing this for about 6 weeks?? now?..he is very new..yet really pretty good...and only FOUR YEARS OLD! :)...his teacher says he is really good when he is focused...so lol im really trying to work with him and his focus skills...

okay..so thats that...back to the stripe...

okay..yeah back to the stripes lol...each class builds on the next..once he learns one set of "things"...kicks..punches..whatever...he gets a stripe...well tonight..he took his third test and remembered everything...well most everything...he gets sooo very distracted..(like his mother lol)....its really kind of funny sometimes..but he did really good..and he knows a lot..he surprises me every single class...i was very very proud of him..im still very proud of him...

today's surprise was that he actually did a "real" jumping jack..his jumping jacks are usually hands flaring and no movement in his lower body! lol...so the fact that he did one tonight..was AWESOME! because no matter how many times ive showed him..he still NEVER does them correctly..well this afternoon..he did...i credit david...the 13 year old boy who has a black belt and who helps with his class....he even did sit ups AND great push ups tonight too!!

he is really doing really well with the class...he has ONE more stripe to go! HE WILL HAVE 4 and on to this next belt! I think the next belt is orange? or green?..not sure yet...lets just focus on getting stripe 4 lol...

yeeeah for kpp! ill upload some pictures from his class soon..

ps....1. when you come up to a person and they say they know karate...NEVER ever just blurt out? "oh you know karate...haaaaaa yaaah!" lol thats corny! 2. never ask a kid "well let me see what you got!" again..corny... 3. oooh and never never never never...just straight up hit a person! because they're reflects are sooo quick...they MAY just hit you back! lol okay...class dismissed...what not to do to a karate kid class 101...

pss...yeah NEVER CALL THEM KARATE KIDS! you know the movie and then sing stupid songs like eye of the tiger...okay seriously..dismissed now...

night!
