Karate

Megan has been taking karate all month and I finally took some pictures on her last week of karate.  She really has been getting into it and enjoying it.  She does very well.  We didn't invest in getting her a Gi or her belt, but she would be concidered a white belt. 

We have learned about karate and the structre of the class.  Before you are allowed on or off the matt you have to bow.  At the begining of each class they always bow to the instructor and start with this...

She has learned a lot so far, and the names of the things are pretty interesting.  Megan's favorite Hand block is the Tiger's claw to the face, her favorite kick is the side blade kick, and she has mastered the 8 point blocking system.
