Watch Your Back, Chuck Norris...

We missed Mason's regular class on Monday, but he got to practice with the white belts instead. It was a good thing for him to go back to basics for a little rehash. Before class begins, each child grabs their attendance card and sits criss-cross on the mat. Mason waits pretty patiently (except for the evil eye he's giving me for taking his picture).

Mason finally learned to raise his hand before speaking! He DID know the answer to the question!


Kiai (気合) (pronounced key-eye)! Left-upper forearm block, SIR!


Right front-kick, SIR! Open those eyes...how are you supposed to see your target?


Side-kick, SIR!


Chamber...


...kick. Chamber...kick. Good practice!
