My first Karate classes

I just started taking Karate Classes and it is soooo fun! I don't have the uniform or even an actual belt. I have taken two classes so far and it is pretty tough on your body. Karate teaches you all sorts of interesting things like how to escape a grasp and how to count in Japanese. I hope to get the Karate uniform called a Gi and get my white belt soon and then I will feel like a real ninja! I go to a Dojo* called the New Paltz Karate Academy where there are nice teachers that will even work one-on-one with you if you are new to the Dojo*. If you live in the area and are looking to start Karate classes, check out THIS LINK!

*Dojo in Japanese means "place of the way", and it is usually subject to Temples.
