Karate

We took Sidnie and Harrison to karate class last night. It was a sparring night where the students put on protective gear and practice using their karate training on each other. Sometimes to warm up, their instructor has them run around the dojo. It is called a dojo run.

Last night, Sidnie was paired up to spar with a boy who was older and twice as big as her. She put her guard up and began to move quickly backwards to get away from her opponent. The boy pursued her. Soon Sidnie was in a full backwards sprint around the dojo with her sparring partner vainly trying to engage her. We began to laugh and laugh at Sidnie's backwards Dojo run defensive technique.
