Cutting Birthday Cake with a SWORD!!!

That Sweet Imp

Today was Andrew’s birthday party. We had a party for his school friends at America’s Best Defense in Mansfield. This is where Andrew goes for Karate. While it is a hike to get there twice a week it is really worth it because of the instructors and Sensei. Everyone is great with the kids. Herding the young ones is a big job and they do it very well. I was interested to see how a group of kids who were not students of the school would react. Andrew is a lucky kid, his friends are great kids and they were excellent at the school. By the time the party was over all the kids were standing at attending, sitting like little black belt students, too.

Andrew got to wear the special birthday black belt and help out with the class by being a person who demonstrated the moves. You could tell that he was proud to do that and he showed such good form sitting and standing at attention. His blocks, punches and kicks were good, too. The party started with the kids all running around while Sensei and his assistant, Ms. Emma slid pads on the floor at the kids. If the kids got touched by the sliding pad then they would have to stop and do 5 jumping jacks. This got the kids running around and loosened up. I thought it was good because then they were not intimidated when the karate program actually started. The kids learned how to do some blocking and some punching before they had pizza (provided by the studio) and cake (made by Allison). Continue reading Cutting Birthday Cake with a SWORD!!!
