I am taking Sean to his first martial arts class tonight. It is Judo Jujitsu, focuses on self defence and it is not competitive. I didn't want to stick him in one of those places that has competitions. Ella wants to do it too but she is too young.
Anyone else done any classes like this?

Never done it but I wanted to. I knew a lot of my friends who have taken such classes and I always wondered whether it was a normal kids thing to do, like a rite of passage or something.  |

I've always wanted to learn and it's a real bummer that I can't even pick it up now. I had a karate lesson when I was about 11 but I dislocated my knee before the second lesson so I couldn't go back.
I reckon we'll put the kids into lessons when they're a bit bigger.

Sean has his second class today but I think I'll have to get Bernie to take him because I feel crappy. He loved it though. It was a reasonably small class in a small room but I like that.
I remember doing a self defense class in year 10 at school but it only went for maybe 3 lessons and then it was done.

I think I remember that Beck. Wasn't there a demonstration during Assembly? I'm sure I remember someone throwing down a teacher.

Sean has his first grading in 2 weeks. It has been delayed and delayed but finally almost here. I'm more nervous than he is |

Good luck Sean! and don't worry Beck sounds like he is more than ready for it!.
I definitely want Emily to take classes to learn to protect herself early on.

I started Tai Chi earlier this year. Have been enjoying it, find it fairly relaxing. And trying to teach my godkids and nephews provides me with a lot of amusement.
