We signed Connor up for karate class today, at the suggestion of his pediatrician.

He got a one-on-one lesson with his teacher, culminating in Connor successfully breaking a board with a palm strike.

We’re hoping that karate class will help Connor develop his self-control, as well as help him with his coordination and control over his body. This first lesson was promising, as he successfully sat cross-legged with his hands on his knees for some five minutes, perfectly still, as his “first test.”

He also seemed to have fun, and was seriously stoked to get his white belt, his uniform, and a pair of boxing gloves of his very own. His next one-on-one lesson is next week, then he’ll get to join the Youth Basics class when it starts back up in the new year.
