Ok, its not really Ninja Training, but Kyler is getting to be a good little snow skier. While the other Karate Brother(Jordan) was at a demo team practice, Dad and Kyler decided to get some spring skiing in as the season comes near to a close.
After a season of Dad’s “Black Belt Academy” in the snow, Kyler decided he wanted to try a few Black Diamond runs at our local ski hill (Blue Wood). We had tried Skyline a time before, but he was getting tired and Kyler needed some assistance from dad to get down a couple steep parts. But not this time. Kyler has completed his Black Diamond Belt in snow skiing, by successfully traversing down multiple Black Diamond and the more advanced Blue Square runs in one day. Here is a list of runs he completed without any assistance from dad, but under his watchful eye: Ego, Prime Time (pictured), Manockums, Skyline, Hogback, Two Cannon, Huck Finn, Free Style and more. (watch Ninja Training in the Snow Video)
We had a lot of fun and he is really wanting to go see the Blue Wood Bash, but mom will be gone that weekend and Jordan has Demo Team practice so we will have to see.

Our Karate Brothers and a couple other kids from our church, Gina and Daniel, wanted to do a little karate performance for our churches talent program. The program was put on by mostly the kids, but there were a few adults that were brave enough to show their talents.
For our Karate Show, the kids took on a K.I.C.K (Kids In Christs Kingdom) Team name, after the KICK team.org and yes we borrowed one of the songs they have on a demo.The kids did a really good job for most of them being pretty nervous about getting up in front of people. Kyler said, “I had stage fright a little bit, but then I went up on the stage.” He was hesitant to go on the stage after they did a group “Focus Form”.
Kyler was first on the stage, sporting his Nunchukas and awing the crowd with his splits and spinning both Nunchukas.
Gina brought in the Escrima Stick doing a 8 count form and then ending with section 1 of the “Power Form”.
Daniel persuaded his dad to assist in another Escrima stick demonstration, with the 8 count, 3 count and a few other manuvers.
Jordan, performed a form he has learned for his Demo Team.

Jordan turns 8 years old. We want to thank all of Jordan’s friends and family that helped us celebrate his birthday. Jordan enjoyed seeing the family that visited and really had lots of fun with his friends at the Birthday Party at PMA.
 The party began with some games of dodge ball, Ninja go/Ninja Stop and then a quick lesson in Karate From Mr. O and some Front-Kicks instructed by Jordan to his friends and Karate Brother Kyler. |
 Sir then talks with the kids while they “Take a Knee” which is a good way to listen. |
 Kids Really Enjoy Pizza. Always a favorite of Jordan and Kyler. |
 Sir “safely” brings out the sword and helps Jordan cut the birthday cake. |

Here is our family’s attempt at organizing and tracking Jordan’s and Kyler’s progress in Karate. We hope to provide helpful and entertaining information about the trials and triumphs in our experiences of learning Karate and competing in tournaments. We hope to bring here our karate videos of what we have learned or are learning. They may not be a polished Form, but as we improve or compete they should get better.
Jordan has recenently become an active member of the Extreme Demo Team at Premier Martial Arts of Walla Walla. The XDT Team is trying to raise money to pay for travel expenses to the Karate U.S. Open, in Orlando, FL. This is one of the major competition events of the year. If you would like to help the XDT TEAM please, Donate Here.
Thanks for visiting our site and we hope you enjoy it.
