C has been practicing kung-fu for over a year now with Silver Dragon Kung Fu (formerly Tat Wong). He loves doing all the moves, chopping the air, flipping people, blocking, hitting and kicking. While he loves to perform bathroom mirror kungfu, sometimes he doesn't want to go to his classes. I'm not sure what the hesitation is, but I think it has to do with his always having to leave a playdate to "go to kungfu" - what a drag!!!
Despite his recent requests to quit the classes, I am hoping that a private lesson with Sifu Alex Cardenas (see man wielding swords to the left) will reignite his dragon's fire! Alex is an amazing fellow. He has that magical ability to lead a class of wild youngsters, maintain control, teach them life lessons and make them laugh at the same time. His pep-talks to the kids inspire me as well!
