Karate Kid

We have our own karate kid!  John Charles has been wanting karate lessons for a while. He took 2 trial classes and decided that he liked it and wanted to sign up.  Students are required to take 2 classes a week, but they can go up to 6 days a week.  So far, John Charles has been everyday this week! He’s off to a slow start, but that’s ok. He has a little more trouble focusing and following instructions than a lot of kids, but he is having a great time and does not realize that he’s having any trouble at all. As long as he’s enjoying himself we’re all for karate.
