The Karate Kid

Jackson had his first Karate class today at Bobby Lawrence Karate. We signed up for a one month, 8 session package through UVU continuing education program for a really discounted price. He was so shy and timid and was so nervous to do something wrong. He shed a few tears because he didn't have an attendance card like all the other kids and felt out of place. Once he got the hang of things he had a lot of fun.
Defending himself against an attacker...


He was trying so hard to do everything right... He even folded his arms as if he were in church :)


He was the last one to do this exercise so all the kids in the class chanted "Jackson, Jackson, Jackson..." to encourage him.

At the end he got a Karate dollar! I am so proud of him. It was hard to see him struggle and feel out of place but in the end he was so happy and had fun. Good Job Jackson!!!
