Day 320: All in good fun

We did more sparring in Kung Fu class tonight....ooooh, some children got made at one another.....

When sparring, accidental hits are going to happen. That is just the way it works, but children - especially siblings - have a tough time remembering that.

Let's just say that some hits were an accident and some hits were more of the revenge kind. As for me? I got popped in the eye, the nose and a lot on the side (arms and legs). Thankfully the only place bruised is my thigh.

Getting hurt was my main reason for never taking a martial arts class in the past (especially when all of my siblings were taking one). Now? I want to be tough for my children. They need to learn that pain is not always a bad thing. Took me a long time to figure that out. I also don't want my girls to ever be in a situation where they can't defend themselves.

Happy Walking!
