Hi-Yah!

3.9.2013

The Boys Competed in a Karate Competition.

C did a Traditional Form

and Board Breaking.

He chose to Break 5 Boards,

One right after another,

doing a Different Hit or Kick

as He moved from one board to the Other.

He broke ALL 5 First time around!

 

B decided to also do a Traditional Form,

and

he also decided to do an Open Bow Staff Form-

Where He made up his own Routine,

using his Bow Staff

(a Bow staff resembles a Long Stick. Think: Broom Stick Handle.)

with as many twists, kicks, spins, etc.

that He wanted.

He also got to use his own choice of Music.

I was surprised that he would have the Gumption

to choose to make something up on his own.

And Because it was his own,

I simply wrote down his routine,

as he put it together as he Practiced.

I wanted it to be his own Creation.

And it was.

And even BETTER?

When he forgot his routine,

he didn't even stop,

but kept right on going,

making it up as he went,

We were so Proud  of his 2nd Place Medal!

We're so proud of the Boys

and how well they did!
