Max's Karate Birthday

Karate birthday at Ohana Karate near Howell, Michigan
Max enjoyed a karate birthday party with lots of his friends this weekend. Max and Finn both take karate classes at Ohana Karate. When Karate Sam told Liesl, their mom, that he was offering karate birthday parties, Liesl jumped at the chance.

The children learned to stay on their spot (notice the white dots on the floor), to sit with crossed legs and straight backs, and some of the basic kicking motions. Mr. Sam gave a lesson about bullying for both the parents and the children. There was lots of movement mixed in with the discipline of sitting and listening carefully.

The ice cream birthday cake was yummy and some very tired children headed home after a great karate themed birthday party.
