Last week Daddy suited up and sparred with her. I think they both enjoyed it. These were all taken with my phone so sorry for the low quality! In the video, she's in the black, sparring with a 7 year old who's been doing it for 2 years.

Karate Update
Aurora is doing fantastic in karate! She listens and participates in class, and her favorite is sparring. She has no fear and gets right in there against her opponent. We've had some issues getting her to practice her katas at home because all she wants to do is sparr! We've been trying to teach her that she needs to get the basics down first.

Karate!
Aurora started karate this weekend! Josh is a black belt and has been waiting forever to get her started! We are lucky in that Josh's best friend of 14 years Chris is the nephew of Jim Hawkes, a very prestigious Sensei and director of the United States Karate Alliance, so she is able to attend a very good Dojo.
The day of class, she was very excited! Unfortunately, Josh just had shoulder surgery (from many karate injuries over the years) so he was not able to participate, but Chris was on hand to help with her first lesson! I'm told that the Senseis think she is a natural and she is already showing good balance, coordination, and an understanding of the culture.
On the ride home, she was so worn out from the lesson on the excitement, she passed out in the car! And then spent an hour telling me all about when she arrived. I think she is loving it!
