I bet that a lot of you didn't know that I took karate for 4 years. I really enjoyed it. One of my favourite parts of karate was sparing. Sparing was extremely fun because it was when you would fight your class mates using kicks, punches, and more. I don't mean to brag, but i was one of the best people in my class at sparing. I could beat people 2 levels higher than me.
There are also lots of different levels in karate. White, White-stripe, Yellow, Yellow-stripe, Orange, Orange-stripe, Green, Green-stripe, Blue, Blue-stripe, Brown, Brown-stripe, Black. After black there were all other sorts of levels but I can't remember all of them. The level I was at was Green-stripe. I was almost a Blue but then I started going to school here so I stopped so I would have time to do all of my homework.
In karate, we do more than just sparing. We do Kata's, (They are a bunch of moves put together,) weapon training, and LOTS of stretching. Weapon training was really fun because we all had our own bow (a long strong stick of wood,) and some people had mini pitch forks, (I can't remember the real name,) and numchucks. Had I continued, I would have gotten the pitch forks and numchucks, but because I stopped taking Karate, I only have the bow. In Weapon training, we would learn how to use and handle weapons. We would also put our weapon training into our Kata's. It was lots of fun.
So there you have it. K is for Karate.
Life lesson: Karate is not for the faint hearted
