My Daughter is in Karate, and she loves it. She doesn't love her photo taken and she is very humble about her ability. Here she is heading towards her Karate Challenge. She didn't want any photo's taken... What she forgets to realize is that she has family in far away places that want to see photo's of what she is doing.
I liked the invitation to the Challenge this year. Great inspiring quotes. I see so many commercials about #like a girl... And I thought you know, my daughter does great in the sport she is in. The say she has a beautiful kick, and she has kicked a few people in the head. And believe me you don't want to get kicked in the head by her! This year she competed in all 3 events for her age and did wonderful!
The first event was Kata's. She got 2nd place for this. I like this event as it is almost like a dance, I wish I had the ability to actually think of how she is defending herself from the different attackers.
Then she competed in the techniques class. She looked really great and had a great attacker! She placed first for this event.
She and the others her age all worked hard and it was nice that each of them placed first in one event.
The next event was sparing.... Mom....stop taking photo's of me! I really don't like watching this as she is a brown belt and can be hit in the head.... That makes me nervous. But she just has no fear, or at least it looks that way!
The competition was intense, but she place second and she worked hard for it.
It would be nice to be able to video with out the world walking in front of you, but I guess I'm just happy to have it recorded so her grandparents can see it.
I did tell my daughter that I thought a Karate Challenge was easier than a horse show, you only have to deal with one nervous teen, instead of a nervous teen and horse. It was a great event. And I have to say I'd be afraid of this girls kicks!
