The two boys have wanted to take karate or some kind of martial arts class for years. Tuesday night they got their wish. Kate, Stephen, Joe, and Madelyn are all taking Tang Soo Do at our local Y Center. They go twice a week for on hour. The best part is that the class is free!!!
Katie and Madelyn wanted to take the class for exercise and I'm glad that they are learning some self defense skills. Several minutes at the beginning of the class were spent discussing how the girls could use their skills to protect themselves. All my children forgot the instructor's name. When I asked his name, the kids stated, "We're supposed to call him Sir."
Katie, who has scoliosis, thinks that the class will be really good for her back. She fences and delivers papers. Both of those activities put a lot of strain on one side of her back. Tang Soo Do uses the muscles on the opposite side of her back.
Paige and Allie want to go to the Y on Tuesday and Thursday evening also, so I will probably be working out on those evenings and sending the girls to a pre-school tumbling class, which is also free! Gotta love those free activities!
