Luke attended his first karate tournament on Saturday, Oct. 5. He has been taking karate lessons for awhile and was so excited to go to his first tournament. We didn't know what to expect, but Luke surpassed any expectations by taking FIRST PLACE in breaking. That means he was the best at breaking boards for ages 5-7. Way to go, Luke!!!!! The kids were given two attempts to break the boards, and Luke broke both of his right away. Edward took Luke to the tournament since Madison and Alex had soccer games, and he was able to record the award ceremony.
Luke did not know he had won anything; in fact, on the video, you can see that he is very nervous that he didn't win.
The karate studio Luke attends is pretty small with one instructor. We really like that aspect, and his instructor is fantastic. Only eight of the kids went to the tournament, but all eight placed in their events, which speaks very highly of the level of instruction! Edward said the tournament was really busy, too.
Great job, Luke! We are so proud of you!
