My Karate Story

===============================================================
Way before I was alive My mom and her younger sibling took karate. My mom and her siblings trained alot like I do. And one day when I was 7 I said to my mom. I want to do a Sport. Her reply back was sure,What about Karate. My responce was YESSSSS!

So we looked at many schools until I found the perfect school,Even though all the schools I went to were awesome. I started training right away. I tried really hard to do as well as I could. And at the end of the class we would play a fun game called dodgeball. We did this to help us to get out of the way when things were coming at us. So when I was 7 dodgeball was a fun game, but to my teacher it was a defence game.

And after advancing from a class called Dragons (that was a program for kids who are too you to go to the real belts) I finally got into the last level of belts. Solids at the age of 8. Now I am ten years old an I am a red belt. And in my school I have two more belts till I am a Black Belt. I love attending Tournaments And I love Karate. It has been a big help with confidence in my life and I cant wait to learn more!!!

The Kick of the week is... A Spinning Hook kick!

I Love the spinning hook kick for one reason. The fun of the kick. I like Spinning. So to me a spinning hook kick is almost like a dance move. And I love to dance. And the thrill of hooking your leg at the right time. I love  thrill. And if you have a favorite kick tell me. Id love to know, You can tell me in comments. Id love to hear and that just might be the next kick of the week!

The reason I love Karate

The reason I love Karate is that you can build confidence up in your self and protect you self physically and mentally. You can learn to defend you. But not only you but others around you like friends and family. You can tell me why you love karate too. Please inclued your name if you want to be mentioned in "the Reason I love karate" posting. If not just tell my why Id love to know.

Karate Belts

The main belts are usually White,Yellow,Orange,Green,Blue,Purple,Red,Brown,and Black. But there could be more that I dont know of. White Stands for a seed just being planted. Yellow stands for the seed is finally ready to sprout. Orange repersents the seed finally sprouting and is begining to grow.
Green: as the sproutling starts to grow so does its strength.  Blue:As the plant grows it starts to reach for the sky. Purple: the plant has learned much but still has more to go. Red: the plant has grown enough to where a tiny bud has came. Brown: The bud grows with what the student has learned. Black:The bud has finally Bloomed and the plant is fully grown. Hope you enjoyed!
