the next karate kid?

Our church does a Kids Safety Fair each year. It’s really done well. The SWAT team came out with full gear, the fire department brought in a smoke house and demonstrated how they disassemble a car, the coast guard was there as well, and a karate group was out there teaching self-defense. We had a great time, especially at the karate booth where they let us throw a melee of punches at a dummy for 10 seconds and measured our punching power. Here are some pics below

I must confess that I really haven’t thrown many punches so I am not totally in my element. But apparently it is evident that once again I missed my calling in life (my other calling was to be a lumberjack based on my superior skill with an ax….except that time I broke my big toe) Here are the high scores of the day

So think again before you mess with me my friends (and foes). I’m packing fists of fury.

Alright, next confession…….I am pretty sure I was the only one over the age of 8 that participated in this event. But at least I know that I could hold my own against a horde of 8 year olds.
