One of Wes's favorite movies of all time is The Karate Kid. I can't tell you how many times I've heard about it over the last seven years. ;) (yes, isn't it insane that we've been together that long?!) Anyway, I think Wes secretly wishes that he could have become some karate master. So, when we moved into our ward, we found out one of the members owns a karate studio and teaches. He offers great deals and we thought it'd be something really beneficial for Liam. We're hoping it helps his coordination and we've heard many people say how much it helps kids in general with focus and respect, so we thought it'd be a win/win situation. He's only been going for about a month and a half, but he's loving it. The studio and teachers are awesome. He and Wes have been practicing a lot together too. So, without further ado, here's our awesome karate kid.
Here Liam is sparring with another kid in the class. It's pretty funny watching them use their techniques to hit eachother since we constantly are telling kids NOT to hit. haha. But, they teach them the appropriate uses for these tools, such as self-defence. It's sorta like watching miniature rock 'em sock 'em robots. Liam is the one in the bright blue helmet.
Here he's doing a pretty good side kick! Good job, buddy!
He's really looking forward to two months when he can test for his first stripe! I'll be sure to keep updated with all of that.
