Welcome back bloggers. This time my blog is about something really really important... Self Defence. Me and my best friends Abigail and Ama go the Onehunga Dojo to learn Joyshimon Karate. A dojo is a big room/rooms where you learn self defence. When you start Karate you have a white belt then once the teachers think that you are ready to grade you go to a different dojo where you will do some of your Karate in front of the Grand Master. If Grand Master thinks you are ready then you grade. If you grade it means that you get your next belt. The belts are: White, Yellow with white stripe, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Purple, Purple, Green, Green, Brown, Brown, [Maybe another brown],Black. Black is the highest belt if you are a Black Belt then you can even be a teacher and teach Karate. I am a Yellow Belt, Ama has just joined so she is only a White Belt and Abigail who has been going to this Karate for about 3 years she is the highest out of all of us she is a Second Purple Belt. We call our main teacher Sensei and the other teacher is called Senpie. Our uniforms are called a GI. Our belt is called an Obi. We have a really great time doing karate together. Here are some photos of us doing karate:
Self defense is really important. Karate will not only teach you that but will also make you disciplined and keep you active and fit. I am very happy that you are enjoying Karate. And you also look super cute in your white outfit :)
