Family Martial Arts

My entire family.

Nope, just me. My dad was a wrestler in school if that counts, plus whatever military combat training he went through.

My boyfriend and I train in different dojangs now. We train at home together still. I teach him stuff that he doesn't learn at his dojang.

I'm the only one. I managed to drag my dad along to a few karate class and he watched every Aikido class I went to (a grandtotal of 3, I think), but he isn't a martial arts man I'm afraid.

 

My mum and sister wouldn't touch the stuff. I like it when they take an interest in it though. I was so chuffed today 'cause we were doing kata in class (Heian Yondan). I totally can't do most of this kata, but I was trying and I looked up and saw my mum was there to pick me up (this was about 15 minutes to the end of class). Anyway, I'd kept kata-ing away and looked up to watch my dad walk into the hall. I like knowing their watching and I just hope that they'll become hooked too, but it got even better when I looked up to see my big sister and her boyfriend had came in too. It really made me try harder so I could impress them.

 

I found that when I'd went to Aikido too, I'd worked harder because my dad was there watching and I wanted to impress him, and my karate came on quite a bit when my dad used to hold focus pads for me and let me practice my kicks on them. I try harder because I want to get praise off my family more than I want it off my instructors. If only they'd come along to classes, I'm pretty sure my karate would come on leaps and bounds.
