Hi today I'm going to talk about how me and my dad spar. Hope you like it!



When I was 4 years old I started doing karate. I was a second degree blue belt almost a brown belt when I stopped about a year ago because their wasn't enough time. I am going to start doing it again when we have enough time.



We still practice karate a lot though. On Tuesday I practice karate with Katie on Wednesday with Alex and on Thursday with katie and so on till Friday. So I practice 2 times as much as them.



Also to help with the practice my dad comes out sometimes and we get on our old fighting equipment from karate class and we spar. First we would just fight normally and take turns fighting him. The second time we fight him we do when he knocks down how to get up as quickly as possible.

When we were fighting at karate the rules were different though. You couldn't kick below the belt or on the back or face but you could hit the head. Punches were 1 point, kicks were 2, and spin or jump kicks were 3. The first one to 5 won.



I kinda like sparing and beating up dad and it's fun too. Afterwards I'm a little out of breath though. It's exhilarating and very fun.
