Karate

Right before Thanksgiving Riley started taking karate lessons. He is loving it, and has a great Sensei. Who is actually in our Ward. When he got out on the mat the first day he had this really serous face on, and was just ready to go. I have been amazed at how fast he has picked up on everything. He does really well when he focuses and doesn't get to silly. We are working on his confidence as well. He is so worried he will mess up that he doesn't want to do the different moves on his own, but I know he can. It will be fun to watch him progress.


They had their first test at the beginning of January. Riley was able to get his first piece of tape on his belt. After he get so many and can focus and listen (which Riley needs to work on) he will be able to move up to yellow.
