Karate Camp
Today, the karate camp I take every year started ^_^ I really like it because it's 3 1/2 straight hours of karate instead of just 1 hour during the school year. We get to grapple and spar a TON more, and Sensei Charmichael lets us play games like dodge pad. It's the same as dodgeball, only he seperates the class by height into 3 groups. Then, each group goes inside this circular area, and the instructors stand just outside the boundary and throw usually two of the hand pad things that we kick/punch around, trying to knock you out. I'm not too good, but I still love it ^_^ Tomorrow he said that the brown belts and above (that includes me) will get to work some more on tornado kicks, we'll learn another combo kick, and we're going to start learning another kata. You get really REALLY tired because there's no breaks for 3 1/2 hours and you're moving pretty much constantly, but I love it. One of my favorite parts would probably be sparring with an instructor because they move around the whole room, you're allowed to make harder contact, and so are they. There's this one girl there this year named Carrie who's really cool. She'll be in 9th grade I think this year, and we look almost EXACTLY the same! It's really weird o.O So whenever the class starts grappling or sparring we always get paired up because we're about the same strength too. Anyways, I'm gonna go eat dinner now, because I just realized I haven't eaten all day! That's a first...
