Tagg started taking karate classes this week. Apparently some kids at his new school are all about karate so he' s been talking about it a lot. Plus he's been a little more aggressive and volatile since we moved and started new pre-K so we thought we'd give it a shot. First class, he watched 90% from the sidelines. But he started "yes ma'am-ing" me, and was very interested in upping his Listening Score and cleaning his room, which they talk about in class. Second class? Took him a few minutes to warm up and then...he was rocking Flying Sidekicks. Holy crap!
Tagg is now enamored with karate. We go twice a week and he loves getting his stripes, learning his kicks, and working on his sensai "guiding principles" which are all really impressive. It's early to tell but after just 4 classes, I think karate/martial arts is an amazing thing for kids. As long as he doesn't start crescent kicking me in the face...
