Karate Do

Josh's Sensie remembered to bring him a gi today. A number of weeks ago, Josh tested for his orange belt- and passed!- and with that, comes the cool karate outfit. He was so proud to wear it during class. He seems to still really enjoy the sport, and I truly hope that he continues his enthusiasm. He really does seem to have a knack for it, and certainly brings a high amount of energy to each class. He has even learned a little bit of Japanese along the way...Hai (yes), Kiai (a special Karate shout) and Karate Do (the way of Karate). Incidentally, karate means "the way of the hands". Josh is pictured here in the Yoi position- complete attention to his teacher and absolute concentration- can't you just see it in his eyes?
