Karate!!! KaCHOW!

In mid Novemeber Zachary and Elliott started talking about Karate. The begged their mom's to enroll them in classes.  Grams came up with the perfect idea to give them "martial arts" classes for Christmas.  Grams & Aunt Rachel researched all the local karate classes and found the best one. Mr. C's Martial Arts.  Mr. C is all about building self esteem, teaching focus, motivation, good sportsmanship, discipline, and a positive attitude. Yes the classes teach martial arts skills but they do not encourage punching or fighting.  This is a huge plus from this concerned mom! 

Z and E could hardly wait for their first class.  On Monday Dec. 27th they got their uniform on and went to class.  It was hilarious!  The boys did so good!

Before class started, Mr. C sat the kids down to discuss character traits. 

 Here is E & Z sitting like statues.

 Our little Karate Kids

 Zachary learning to punch...Yes, I can!

Playing a team building game

 Elliott in full motion...Yes I can!

Mr. C has the kids fill out a chore sheet to earn stars for their uniform.  It's amazing. Z makes his bed, my bed, picks up his toys, puts his clothes away, and several other chores around the house.  Thank you Mr. C!
