Son's tournament update

[Kempogeek]

Pardon my rudeness. I forgot to thank you for the pictures. They are excellent! I hope you will continue to post more from future tournaments. As always, keep us posted on when the next one is for him. Best regards, Steve

Aww thanks.

I will keep you all updated. I haven't met any perant yet who is suportive of there kids in karate. I met a father at the tounament who yelled at his son who was messing up. Then the young kid actualy had the nerve to question the judges score. I couldn't beleive it. How disrepecfull. My son went to say Hi to him and his dad told him not to talk to other competitors therenot his friend.

Ekk i couldn't imagin being like that. My son loves karate, and love to meet people mostly adults. He i couldn't force him to do any better then his best, the tournament is for him not for me.

I'm so proud of my son. I hope he keeps withit in the future, i know his instructors adore him and see great things from him.

Your guys are great here.

Obviously this dad is trying to live his failed sports dreams through his son or something. Maybe it's a money issue thinking that he feels he's wasting his money on lessons for his son. Imagine how peeved he would feel if the son won't make it to black belt. If I ever have kids who would want to get into martial arts and enjoy it, believe me it would be money well spent. He is one of many black eyes in youth sports. Congratulations all around. Best regards, Steve

 

[Norma]

Yeah maybe..

This little guy thought was AWESOME... I think if he was purple belt, ages 7-12. just amazing..

TO bad his dad was so nasty..

Ring 2 kids side..

This is the kid i'm talking about.. He's awsome, But dad needs to take a step back, cause this kids actual made a face at the judge to question his score. and the judge layed into him.

I know of the child, and I know where he trains. He is the number one ranked child in his belt and age category. He comes from a very tournament oriented school, the attitude of both the child and parent do not surprise me. They only can do and show what they have seen at so many events from their instructors.

Your child is lucky to be in a more nuturing environment at Turtle Island martial Arts.

Here's some more pics

These people where AMAZING!! There perants must be so proud as well as the school..

No doubt, this little was awesome... But i see he already doesn't respect his school, questioning the judge, thats not right at all..

He did do extremely well in the tournament all 1st! But that family needs a atitude ajustement.. LOL

That last pic was of Travis who came up from Conneticut. He is really talented, and a pretty good kid.

 

[Norma]

He is good i watched his, he did very well also.

Norma-

A big Congrats to your son on a job well done at this most recent tournament!! artyon:

I can only hope that my son (who just turned 3) will have that kind of dedication and love for the art when he is age 5.

It's great that you and his instructor are teaching him respect too- you will see some people over the years with not too much of it and that is a shame. I'm glad you have found a studio that seems like a genuinely good place with a good instructor. I'm sure your son will go far.

:asian: :karate:

 

[Norma]

Thank you,

My son respects it cause HE loves it. Thats what matters.

Faron and Patty whiteye are great people, i have much respect for them, they are just great with kids. Faron gets them doing all sorts of things just to see if they can fellow dirrection. My son does push ups with legs crossed like Mr Whiteye. LOL..

They are very involved with the perants and will go out of there way to call you if needed. They incourage good school grades, good behavior at home.

Its great! HAHAHA, if his bad at home i tattle on him to Faron he will rough him up and have a good talk with him about respect.. Thankfull i haven't needed to do this, but we can.

They tell me his one of there best students. I proud of that. He looks forward to every tuesday and thursday.

Norma

 

[Ceicei]

Thanks Cei-Cei

Your so sweet.

How are you?

Norma

We're doing fine, thank you. My two sons and I are still progressing and doing well so far with American Kenpo. My daughter will be turning 5 this year and we'll see whether she will have the same interest as we do.

In a different thread here, I remember you mentioned you would like to get into martial arts sometime, but need to take care of some things first. Have you made any decision whether to take it up?

[Kempogeek]

Hi Norma. It's funny that you mentioned that you had some business to take care of first. Im sort of in the same position. I haven't been to my classes for a while now as I work the 3rd shift. I did manage to go to some classes before work but I stopped going as often because I didn't want to tire myself out. My contract expires next month and looks like I won't renew it for now. I have some months left before I can pay off my car. If all goes well, I should be done by the summer and I can rejoin in the Fall. I wouldn't mind starting over as a white belt. I kinda forgotten some of my previous material and would be good to go over it again. During my time away I plan on staying in practice with some of the material I do know. So I do hope that you can get into the martial arts and keeping us posted on your progress. Im sure you'll have as much fun as your son has. I know I had fun and plan to return as soon as possible. Good luck. Best regards, Steve

It's great to see that so many people enjoyed this tournament. I Have Trained at Turtle Island with Mr. Whiteye when the school was in its beginnings. Now away at College I train with Dynamic Kenpo Karate under Mr. Rob Broad. I am extremly lucky to have both of these teachers. Here are some of my pics from the weekend. The picture with the orange belt kenpoist is my partner in crime, pat. the picture with myself and the 5th dgeree black belk kenpoist is my instructor Mr. Broad. He was also a referee in ring 2 of the tournament.
