Kung Fu Kids

We (my spouse and I) have tried many different activities for the kids as is the fashion. Recently however, we have hit upon a winner... a hybrid form of Kick-boxing that teaches them to use nearly every part of their tiny little bodies as deadly weapons whilst also instilling discipline and wearing them out...magic. Sadly the curriculum does not include some of my favourites as demonstrated by Daniel-sun in the karate kid and 'the lord Patrick of Swayze' in Roadhouse but I am remedying this by teaching them the classic 'crane' kick in my own time.

What parent (male) would not want his little darlings to be yoda-esque fighting machines (see picture) as comfortable with the spinning roundhouse kick to the bridge of the nose as they are with sugar puffs (although I have never been fully at ease with that big honey monster dude, gives me the screaming fear)?

Incidentally, the only known defence against a well executed spinning roundhouse to the bridge of the nose is a straight faint...this also happens to be the principle defense against the flying axe kick to the base of the skull - imoh.


The only downside so far is the disturbing way that the lads are able to 'cheek out' a sweet left hook to my stomach when I am attempting to put them to bed.

Ouch.

PS. For those of you new to this, throughout the blog any words which are a different colour are actually links, which, as links do will take you somewhere nice.
