Kwe sewakwekon, ohnisonhatie? Hello everyone how are you?

Last night my girls(5 & 6 yo's) went to their Dojo and participated in a Sparring Seminar, I took many reference photos with my Palm Zire 71 and then created some Digital "Art" from it.

Hope you enjoy it, I know my Girls are LOVING Karate thus far(3 weeks or so) and I'm TRYING to help them along too. In other thread I mentioned concerns but it seems I was the problem not the kids nor the training. I simply expected too much of them at such a young age I guess.

I just finished embroidering their initials on their Gi's in their Fave colors Purple and Blue as Sensei was having trouble telling them apart ;-)

I have to remember next time to use Backing on the Embroidery tho as the Gi material is pretty thin and the first one I did needed to be redone, Machine had more of the white locking thread showing than the purple face thread

If it wasn't so thin I'd have embroidered some First Nations Warrior images on their Gi's too but too much headache with the thin material. prolly outgrow them in a year too ;-)

Wow you're pretty crafty, aren't you? Do you embroider as a job, or a hobby?

Great looking facility. From what I can see in the pictures it looks like they have a nice structure too. Learn with them!!

martial arts are great for kids, teaches them confidence respect and discipline. only trouble is when they misbehave and use kicks etc on others :(

Lenatoi, My wife wanted a sewing machine and so as a research GEEK ;-) I found good sewing machines were pricey and so for a wee bit more I was able to get her a nice Brother machine with an Embroidery attachment. Has some Fancy Script letters built in for Monograms which is what I used plus takes Cards with designs on them which can be copied from Computer to the card using a widget called the Magic Box. TONS of awesome designs around in the Public Domain for Free.

The Dojo they train at is pretty new, they are celebrating their 1 year anniversary, May 7th if memory serves. It's on their website I believe.

Hello, Sorry ...for some reason I thought you where a Mom....OOPS

I guess where I train it is the Moms who come the most to watch their kids train. Some Dad's do come also.

Well Dad we know you are proud of you kids. Remember...you will always be there role model...everything you do,say, they will want to be just like you.

There use be a neighbor who yells at his kids...he was a cop too. ...we became friends and we use to go fishing together alot...even then he would be yelling at his kids(at the beach)....one day I said when your children grow up you will see yourself in them? Meaning his children (when they go up) will be yelling at their children just like there dad! I glad they moved. Three houses away still not far enough from the yelling. ...Aloha

No problemo, Kwiter does confuse folks. Mrs usually takes them so she can chat with the other Moms from school(she's in the PTA) tho I take them sometimes when she has business to tend to or dinner is running late ;-)

Unfortunately I'm my fathers son, he was a raving lunatic and so am I , I TRY to stop myself from yelling like a maniac but sometimes can't help myself......years of conditioning eh.
