The Adventures Of Dojo Chapter 2

Dojo was lucky enough to visit Evie this month. This is what the pair of them got up to!







Evie decide to widen Dojo's gaming abilities to a game of Dominoes. This was totally new to him but Evie was a fantastic coach and soon had him placing tiles like a pro.  I am led to believe though that Dojo did sneakily peek at Evie's tiles when she left the room. Tut, tut there is no short cuts to being a master and he should know that!











Dojo loves being out and about and he was delighted when they arrived at Creepy Crawlies.  He normally has a fantastic sense of balance, however Gi's and wavy slides are not a good combination as Dojo soon found out!  Luckily  Evie did not have the same problem and was quick to come to his rescue and offered some much needed TLC.











Evie only left Dojo for a moment and look what the cheeky bear got up too!  keeping hydrated is very important when you're hot from running around.  The water was Evie's and she had said that if he needed a drink he could have some of hers,  the Cheddars however! that is a mystery and we're still unsure as how he got hold of them.  All we can hope is that Evie's fantastic manners have rubbed of on him and that he did ask first!

Gradings

On the week commencing 29th October, the club will be grading their Karate Kids.  This is the time to show how well and how much they have learnt.
All the children will be taking part and hopefully putting a new coloured stripe on their belts.
We do these gradings at this stage to prepare the children for the big gradings later on. They will become familiar with the structure and format and learn not to let fear and nerves overwhelm them.
We do not need to wish them luck as they have all proved during training how well they have progressed.

Dojo's Friend

Dojo has chosen a special young Lady to be his friend this time.
The winner for the month of September is Evie.  Evie joined the club in July and rarely misses a session.  Dojo is delighted in the way Evie always listens to an instructor and always tries her hardest.  She watches intently to what is being shown and quickly stands waiting, a little pool of calm, when everyone else is still bouncing around .  Well done Evie, a lesson you have quickly learnt...... to perform well, you must watch and listen first.
