[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 167201, member: 1161"] Had my kids in karate. difficult child just decided not to go for a while in Jan. but easy child still goes. Their sensei is fairly strict with them, but will joke with them and use funny analogies to get his point across. He carries a shinai that he'll bang the floor with if the whole class is getting loud, and if someone's not paying attention he'll tap them on the head with it, or if he corrects them such as bend your knee more, and they don't the next time he'll tap them on the back of the leg with it. It doesn't hurt them, but does get them to pay attention. And the kids absolutely love and respect him - don't know a kid in the dojo who doesn't. difficult child would do things for him that he would never do for me. I think it was better for difficult child than a sensei who would let them get away with things. Star - our sensei was just showing the kids some of the nerve points. He mentioned the one in the jaw and pointed it out but said don't hit it, you'll make them pass out LOL. [/QUOTE]
