Crichton Could Kick Your Butt

Last Saturday, Crichton had his third Karate Tournament. He worked really hard on all his moves and we even built a sparring dummy out of empty diaper boxes.

Here he is waiting to do his forms. New hair cut. He's just an amazing kid - I am lucky to be him mom!

In the Kata Forms, Cri and another kid tied for 1st place, they had a "Kata-off" to decide the best. And the winner is...

Here's what the sparring looks like:

And here we are with the trophy!

Home again. A proud day. Hard work pays off!

Crichton started Karate the end of February 2008 and has been going 3-4 times a week ever since. He's on the Demo team and recently started learning Bow Staff (a big long stick that really hurts when in the right hands. Also when in a three year old's hands.). Crichton decided to take the summer off though - so he'll be taking swimming lessons and doing either T-ball or soccer. He plans on starting back up in September.
