Father and son

Being a bank holiday weekend, my son had been on a sleepover.  On his return, lots of things had happened, so we needed Father and Son time...

Given the weather was actually good for a little while, it was park, swings and Kata.   Where there is a 46 year age difference between us, its important to have a common interest.  He started Karate first, so I'm the follower, but so what?

We can discuss what we need to discuss and enjoy time together. 😊  We did Naihanchi Shodan together, he mirrored and took on the lead in Naihnchi Niedan and I copied, then he did Naihanchi Sandan.

A while ago, I told him I would like to be able to do the three Naihanchis together, and wow he did that too.  I'm sure there is lots of room for improvement, but part of what we have being trying to do is getting him to go for things.  He did that big time, a 😊nd is learning Karate values too, what more can I ask for? 😊  Other than he keeps teaching me as well  😊 😊
