Karate Kid
This weekend, Zachary will be competing in another Tang Soo Tournament. So the week has been busy with form and weapon practice.

Which sadly is nothing new, he regularly role plays as a ninja..complete with tucks, rolls and gyrating hand movements. …
Saturday Night Fever
After a hard day of work, school homework, karate, we settled into our evening, which generally is rather quiet. But alas, on Tuesday evening, the boy strutted out his best stuff.
