Karate 110 The last class of the season…

We had a lot of fun today, beginning with a warm up then we did some x patterns. After this we celebrated the last class of the “winter/spring” season by dividing up into teams and we played Calvinball. There were two balls and no rules except that we were not allowed to cross the center line into the opposing team’s domain. If we did we had to drop and do push ups while the game went on. The balls could not be caught but always had to remain in play. We were to use karate kicks, blocks, and punches to keep the balls in motion.

There were no winners or losers, and it was quite an aerobic workout and a lot of fun. We then all quit class a little early so we could all go to the local Dairy Queen for an end of season treat together.

Next class begins the relatively short summer season and is on July 6th. Classes will be Mondays and Wednesdays from 7 PM to 9 PM at the Devon Community Hall instead of our regular school. The summer season is when we focus a lot on weapons. We will again take up the Bo and the Tonfa, and possibly some other weapons as well.

Until then, it’s back to running for me.
