Karate Tech

Back in November, Noah had a brief foray into the world of karate (Karate Tech to be specific). Several of the older kids on base go to karate class, and Noah had been asking if he could go, too.  It was definitely against my better judgment because I didn't think Noah was quite ready but he really wanted to do it so we let him give it a shot.

Noah was in the 3-5 year old class but most of the boys were on the older end. It was pretty clear that Noah wasn't quite mature enough for the discipline and attention required at the class (especially after being at school all day) even though he definitely has the size and strength! Half the time, he was more interested in checking himself out in the mirror :-)

Needless to say, karate only lasted for about a month, and even Noah was happy to not have to go anymore by the end of the month!

I really wish they had a soccer league for his age on the island because he would love an activity where he could just run around!

We were at least able to get some cute photos out of the karate experience :-)

 

Here are a couple of videos I took (hopefully they work...):
