I went to see Bradley do karate this morning at an open day at his school. They did a quick exhibit of what they’ve been doing all year, and he also got his grading results.
I didn’t actually realise that they have a dedicated dojo on the school grounds, which is absolutely wonderful because it’s properly kitted out with the right flooring etc. I was expecting to see him do it in the hall, like we did at school!! you probably think it’s strange that I didn’t know that, but that building didn’t get pointed out to me when I did a tour of the grounds before he started.
You’re also probably wondering why they’re not wearing proper karate kit… they’ll start wearing the proper kit next year I think, once he starts BIG school. And they wear golf shirts and rugby shorts as a uniform anyway, so it’s nice and comfy.

As for the quality of the shots… I took Connor with me… that should say it all! I thought it would be a good idea. LOL!! He nearly took over (he wanted to play too), so I had to ban him from the room and made him play in the garden. So half my time was spent running after him, and stopping him from pouring sand into the kids shoes outside!!
