Ju Jitsu

As you know, Olivia wants to do "big" kid things. Well, she is finally able to attend Ju Jitsu class with big brother Alex. After not going to Ju Jitsu in over 6 months due to other obligations on Saturday morning, Jimmy and Alex were finally able to get to a class last Saturday. Olivia really wanted to go and Jimmy thought she was ready. We put Alex's Gi jacket on Olivia. She looked so cute! She was ready! I wasn't sure how Ju Jitsu class was going to go after seeing the way dance class has gone, but to my surprise, Olivia did so well!! She really concentrated. Jimmy's chest was just swelling with pride. Sensai told her to watch big brother. You can see from the pictures that she has really good form. After about 30 minutes of intense workout, she was tired and done. She walked off the mat. The rule is before entering and leaving the mat, you are suppose to bow, she was having none of it. She was tired and hungry. We watched big brother for another 15 minutes. Alex did excellent. He remembered the kata and everything. At the end of class, he wrestled another boy but this boy was younger and smaller so Alex went real easy on him. He's so sensitive like that. Sensai really complimented both Alex and Olivia. I am so proud. Then, Jimmy had his 2 hour class. He keeps trying to get me to learn it but I really don't want to be thrown around on the mat. Not my kind of fun!!
