Why I Like Karate

I like karate because I was made for it. My sensei said that if I could do a kick right it would look awesome. I can stay down in horse stance for about four minutes. (but then I fall over).

My senseis are really good teachers because at the tournament we had 12 people and we brought home 21 trophy's.

I also like karate because it's fun. We still play some games like tag team sparring and number sparring. The sensei's are fun and sensei Norm gives up candy sometimes.

I like the other kids in the dojo. One kid is from my school class last year and another is in my class this year. I have known most of the kids for about 2 years.

How I Started in Karate

I started karate in Kelowna BC when I was six. I was a white belt back then and we just played games and learned the basic moves. Then I came to Ontario and I started again when I was seven at Shito-Ryu Itosu-Kai Canada. Now I am eight and I am a yellow belt and I just won my first trophy in a Canadian Championship tournament. It was really fun.

This is my first team kata in the Canadian Championships. We won the gold medal. I was excited.
