I didn't think we'd ever be a "karate family" but that's what we're turning into. I like everything about karate except it's a bit pricey. Max started karate first because he kept begging and I finally relented. After we went to his first belt test Maddie said, "I want to be in karate." She's already tried gymnastics and dance which she just didn't get into. I tried a little harder to talk her into gymnastics because that was my great love growing up but she didn't like it. She is amazing in karate also. Now, Seth started in October. He likes it when he's there, but he does complain to me when he has to stop playing to go to karate so I may take him out and let him try again later if he's interested. Tanner thinks it's cool to watch but doesn't want to be in it. It is a lot of time so it's probably good he's not interested. Right now, Max is a purple belt, Maddie is an orange belt, and Seth is a gold belt which I sometimes call "yellow" and am quickly corrected.

Oooh I LOVE your Karate Kids! Its so neat that they found something they love and can excel in. Just think if you were spending all that money and they didn't even like it! ;) Cool video clip. Max almost glides through his moves. He makes it look easy even though its not. Thanks for sharing! =)
Karate has been a real turning point for both Calvin and Annie (all 4 kids take it, though). It's worth the investment for the values we try to teach at home to be reinforced by an instructor that they really admire. And, we don't have to worry about bullying! :)
