Pacificshore Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Today was my son's first ever karate tournament. He's just 6, and a very shy kid, not too adventuresome when it comes to new things. He decided that he wanted to compete in our small town tournament put on by the local YMCA karate instructor. He placed 3rd in his kata division. It made me and his mom proud to see him overcome what essentially would be a challenge for him. To top it off, he went first and then had to do his kata a second time. Off course with the nerves calming down, his second go round was much better. I just wanted to say what a proud pappa I am Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia

Budderfly Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 Congrats to your son! Not for just placing 3rd, but to overcome his shyness at the tourney. That was very brave of him to go up and do his best in front of a lot of people.

Congratulations and give the "samurai" a kiss from us too and tell him the entire world knows about his success. It's good indeed to overcome your shyness and we all know MA can do it World Shotokan Karate
