Karate Kid

Maddox has always been interested in Karate. He loves to practice whatever he sees that has to do with Karate. Well today he was in hog heaven. We went to Ralph Parr Elementary open house. While we were there they had different groups do presentations and demonstrations. We happened to get there right in time for the martial arts extravaganza. There was kicking, sparring, grunting, jumping, twirling of sticks and swords, everything to feed right in to his love. Well when they asked for volunteers to break wood he had his hand up high. He went up to the front with the others to get lessons on what to do. A couple of other students came by to show each of the volunteers what to do and then they brought out the wood. Maddox was thrilled when he broke the board in half. He relived that moment all day long asking us to hold the two pieces up together so he could prove his strength. I have a feeling after swimming lessons is finished we may be signing up for some martial arts classes.
