Today Cassie and Joel went to an Karate exhibit. She got to see her "Sifu" break a stack of 10 bricks!! There was also a blind guy....who helps teach the class who broke ten bricks!! He lost his sight in the war - which is inspring to watch!
Another guy broke bricks with his head!! She has been talking about it NON stop since she got home!
What a COOL thing! I love Karate....because it teaches SO much more than just Karate.....respect, life skills, control - and for Mom the best part - SELF DEFENSE!!!
You go GIRL!!!
Cassie is taking KARATE!! Big shock isn't it.......nope! Cassie took dance for a year - and didn't enjoy it at all - but she is LOVING LOVING LOVING Karate.......and HOLY COW...talk about a work out!! Girlfriend is getting some SERIOUS stomach muscles!! We LOVE her "Sifu" He really pushes academics....is patient.....firm....STRICT......and is just GREAT!! Cassie gives each class 150%....so "Sifu" really appreciates her...he tells us after class how impressed he is with how much she puts her whole heart into it. Joel and I are both SO surprised at how fast she is improving.....Cassie tends to be not all that coordinated....but she is really getting SO much better!! We are really happy she has found something she enjoys so much!!

Hey, it looks like you got your pictures to work! Way to go Cassie!!! That is so AWESOME! I've always wanted to take Karate. You'll have to teach me some skills next time we see you. (Great music too!)
What a great skill to have! Just one more thing to add to her repertoire of talents, she is an amazing kid!
LOVE IT!
I have been thinking about getting Toby and Sadie into some type of marshal arts program for a while now. I think it would be really good for especially my Toby.
What a fun thing. You've given me new motivation to look into it.
loves,
Pam
