Karate Mason:

New Life Academy, the elementary school Mason attends, offers karate as their physical education class. He liked it so much that Brian and I decided to enroll him in regular classes. Yesterday, was his first class and he was in with kids that were a bit older than him. They were practicing punches and even kicks! Above is a short snippet of Mason's first attempt at a round-kick. Tee hee.

He got to be the leader of his line and give it the first whack!


Cheering on his classmates and waiting patiently for his turn. Yes, that kid is really THAT much bigger – it's not just a camera angle.


Mason is getting a little personal instruction on how to move his body toward the Wavemaster. Much needed after it kicked his butt earlier!
