Karate kid wannabe

Yip you read right, Karate.  I signed Jaime up for Karate.

 

I've researched this topic alot and have "umm'd" and "ahh'd" about it for months.  I reviewed the list of benefits, I drew up pro's & con's, looked up classes and well just been obsessed.

 

So the list of benefits include, and not limited to:

It builds self confidence, self esteem, self-discipline, respect, concentration and courtesy;

It combines physical and mental practices;

Its a structured training technique;

Increases body mass and density;

Improves flexibility

and, and, and...

 

 

Another big motivating factor has been our previous experiences of group/team activities.  The way he reacts every time he has to "perform" in a group, the crying and sulking just got to much so I figured an individual sport it should be, for now.
