karate Tournament


This weekend the boys and I all competed in the Karate schools tournament.  Cameron and I although we worked very hard did not place, but Brady came in 3rd in Forms for his phase.  He blew me away!  I have never seen Brady perform as well as he did when they called his name to come up infront of the judges.  He was confident, said the script he was supposed to say stepped back did his form and turned around to get his scores, which were all 7 and 8's.  The highest score you can recieve was a 9.  It was a goood experience for all of us.  Although Cameron was disappointed he was still a good sport and congratulated his big brother.  It was a big accomplishment for me to do this.  If 5 years ago someone would have told me that I would be competing in a karate tournament at 31 years old I never would have believed them.  Karate has done so much for me but most of all it has given me back some of the confidence in myself that I feel I had lost along the way.
