Re: Children in the Dojo

training with teh kids totally rocks .....
The mini-me (my daughter) started at five and has now been attending for a year ... she has asperger syndrome so she picks it up easily. she sees the patterns and "flow" of each technique and can preform a MEAN ikkyo.shes learning total selfcontrol (which with her condition is a blessing) shes learning to fall properly .... and shes whooping the 8 and 9 yo in the class.
me? ... I just like seeing the kids do something that isnt destructive ....
(and there is nothing cuter than a whoop of joy when theyve got you pinned and sensei is congratulating them!)

Dance your cares away .... worry for another day ... let the music play .... down in fraggle rock!

when bored ... do as I do. Poke a patient!
