On September 29th, 2001, James and Alex participated in their first Karate tournament.
They had been studying for about 2 months after getting introduced to the martial
arts in summer camp. Dad has been studying as well -- in his words, "I must keep
ahead of the children so they don't beat me to a pulp and make me take them to
Toys-R-Us!"
Both boys participated in the Kata (forms) competition, performing the
Shihono (4 winds) Kata. James came in first in his group, Alex came in second!
