As of tonight, two more Karate Kids have begun training, or should I say one future Danielson and one overweight middle-aged guy who had a totally weird experience. Justin and I signed-up for the 7 yr. old - adult Karate through our park district. Since we've always viewed it as a cool father/son thing it wasn't until yesterday we began to think more 7 year olds, less 35 year olds. I'd put the average age of tonights beginners generously at 9.75, but the one 35 year old skews the number higher.
We did have a lot of fun and there is one other dad from the returning group so he and I got to practice kneeing in the junk. (There's an ice breaker for your next church function!) As we progress through the ranks I'll keep you informed.

sweep the leg! (but sensai...) I said sweep the leg!
Impress the dojo by pronouncing it Kadatay, not Karratee (ala Kramer). And good luck kicking 8 year olds around the mat.
I'm sure fences are being painted and cars are being waxed all over the neighborhood. I just hope Justin doesn't run up and knee me in the junk just for fun. "Get him a body bag yeah!"
wax on, wax off...
