Tie A Karate Belt Well Or Your Pants Will Fall Off
I have a five-year-old son who recently decided he wanted to take up the art of karate. Well, as you can guess, I was thrilled that he wanted to get involved with something that would teach him so much for the life that lies before him. Little did I know that I too, would have to become an expert in the ways of karate fashion!
We went through all the steps to get him signed up and get his karate gi. Now all there was to do was await the big day when he was to start his class. He ran around the house with his ‘Sponge Bob’ karate gloves on, chopping into everything he could get his little hands on. With his enthusiasm, he soon had the whole family getting into the spirit of things and we all were getting anxious for the classes to start.
Well, as the big day neared, he took to wearing his gi both day and night. He was not very good at tying knots so this quickly became a dilemma. He would put on his uniform to fight the evildoers in the house and I was expected to quickly tie the belt on his uniform. Then, when he would switch back to his own personality, he again would want a Quick Draw McGraw...
