Best of Karate Chop Chop

For most people it was Karate Kid that made them aspire to "wax on, wax off."   But for me it was one particular episode of The Flintstones with Dr. Sinister and the "Ah Judo chop chop" that Barney and Fred deploy to escape him that made me fall in love with martial arts.   Who knew it could be that easy!

It was with great ceremony that I took Zayne to his first karate class.   We had the karate outfit - no idea what it's really called - surely not karate outfit, but either way, I loved that it was white.   We show up and the first thing I saw is a row of women, dressed like they were going to an Oprah show, smacking their lips with gloss.   All of them were fluffing their ta tas and frankly I was a little taken aback showing up in my get up.

Their gaze rested on the Sensei, who was SENSEI-tional :-)   He was taking off his jacket and it was as if his muscles were revealing themselves in slow motion.   It didn't take long before I joined the ranks of the mommies smacking their lips and fluffing their _ _ _ _ (rhymes with lips :-).   All in the name of our kids, of course.

My joy was short lived.   The eye candy was to become an eye sore when I saw Zayne had no aptitude for using his ears to actually listen.   When Sensei said "los" all the kids jumped up and ran except Zayne.   He wandered casually down all while checking himself out in the mirrors along the side of the wall.

We went back enough times to see if Zayne would take to Karate.  It wasn't meant to be.  But that was last year.   It seems Zayne is way happier with ski poles in hands instead of running barefoot - Indian traitor - but I think Karate deserves another shot.

The Sensei is fantastic, truly.   The classes are easy to get to and the timings are great.   Check the calendar on the website.

If I recall correctly you can pay for 1 month, 3 months or 6 months.

I look forward to you joining me on mommy row soon.   By the way I go to the one in the 9th district.

Smiles,
