My new normal

I'm sitting in the viewing gallery of the gym watching my 12 yo potential future foster daughter knock the living daylights out of a boy who is rather bigger than her 😊 I know nothing about judo, but I think she is doing quite well 😊

@SunshineGirl true that... Turn the size against them... Make you proud ;)

@SunshineGirl Size is very much not everything in self defense. I'm 5'-1" and I've taken down some pretty big guys. A well-trained and well-disciplined fighter will trump muscle mass almost every time. 🙏

@sarabee1995 yep

I prefer taekwondo, but anything that gives her the confidence to face down her adversaries and the skills to back it up is okay in my book...

@sarabee1995 She loves it. The childrens home where she lives loves it because the club combines tuition with discipline. If a student has been in trouble at school that may prevent them from taking part on Saturday. The session was really well run and the children were very respectful to each other.

But I am in trouble for trying to alter her jacket. I thought it was too big on her, but apparently it is meant to be like that 😅

@SunshineGirl Yup. My studio was like that too. And I had to bring in report cards every term.

Lol, and yes, the gi 🥋 is intended to be loose fitting. 🤣

Oh that is wonderful. Those younger students who experience a little success tend to stay with it as an adult. Martial arts can do wonders for self confidence .

@TexChik It all looks really good to me. I think they are learning lots more besides just sport and self-defence 🙂

Bless her! 🤗🤗🤗 I hope the precious boy is okay later! 😇😇😇 I bet Judo is lots of fun! 🤩🤩🤩 I'd be scared to do Judo! 😭😭😭 She's braver than me bless her! 🤭🤭🤭

@MommyLucy He's fine. Just a bit annoyed to have been thrown to the floor by a girl! 🤣

@SunshineGirl Girls can be stronger than boys especially cause girls seem braver in gymnastics! 🤭🤭🤭 Never mess with a gymnast girl! 😝😝😝
