My Heavy Bag

August 23rd, 2010 - Georgian Triangle Karate Club

I got a heavy bag for my birthday. It was one of my favourite presents. My Nan and Pop gave it to me and gloves came with it. They gave it to me at my birthday party which was at a cottage my cousins were renting. I wanted a heavy bag because I wasn't very good at sparring and a heavy bag will help me improve. All you do is kick and punch it and that's what you need to be good at sparring. I plan on doing 50 kicks and 50 punches everyday so I can get ready for my tournament that is coming up.
Thanks Nan and Pop!!

My sister likes the heavy bag too....

How I got my Orange Belt

June, 2010 - Collingwood Ontario. Georgian Triangle Karate Club.

Just before our summer break we had a ranking at our club. A ranking is a special event where club members try and get their next belt.
Our Sensei invited six black belts from another club (Wasaga Beach) to judge the ranking. To get my orange belt I need to know; 10 Kihon Kumite, 8 Kata, Pinan Nidan and Kotai Ren. These are all basic moves of karate.
After I completed all these moves my sensei told me what I did well and what I need to improve. Then he congratulated me and told me if I got my belt or not.
It felt great to get my orange belt!
