Karate Day Camp

Both Sabrina and Mathieu are in Karate Day Camp. All I can say is wow. They do a lot of sport and really enjoy themselves during the day. Really, really good.

What prompted me to put the kids in the camp was that at one point I saw Mathieu in the school's courtyard being picked for a fight by another kid. While the other boy was trying to pummel him Mathieu was able to block with obvious karate moves and he seemed to be in total control of the encounter. I did of course communicate with the school and heard after a few emails that the aggressor had a lot of "anger" in him that day. Whatever it was, Mathieu handled himself admirably during the encounter and it encouraged me to keep the karate going.

Hence the day camp. The kids are excelling in the sports and having a lot of fun in the process. Today they went to do some indoor climbing. Really cool camp.
