By now that my daughter has been to many competiton and each time she enter she always come back with a medal.  At this piont I finally accept that she is talented and in fact she enjoy it very much.



It ws another cold Winter month in Feb, same as usual driving mu daughter to the Karate Dojo in the evening and when she finished I couldn't wait to go home and have a warm bath then her Coach said to me that he will like my daughter to go for the selecting for Team GB squad, What??  I thought to myself, I know she has been winning medals in numbers of competition by now and I already accept she has talent but wasn't sure she was good enough to get  picked for the GB squard.



Anyway I decided to take my daughter along and see how she get on and no suprise she have got picked in the Team GB which I was over joyed considering at the time she is 6 years old.

The Journey to Karate - The Annual Award Ceremony

As some of you might be following my blog on my daugher journey to Karate.  This is another little suprise that I have.  My daugher always give me suprise when I least expected.

It is month of freezing cold winter month in Nov 2015 and driving my daughter to her Karate Dojo isn't the greatest fun, at this time she was going to Karate once a week which I thought it is good for her to have a activity.  When I picked her up from the Dojo as normal her coach said to me if my daughter has enter the club annual award ceremony, at the time in my head I was thinking what is this abour and then she explain the club will nominate in 10 different catogory on appraise on the outstanding students in the club in all area such as best instructor of the year, best club of the year, best learner of the year etc


To be honest I didn't really know what this mean but all I know is start my daughter keep asking if she can attend but I know I won't to able to take her along as I have a conference to go on the day so I ask my mum to help me out.

When the day arrived I went to my conference and was very tired by the time I got home and as soon I walk through the door, my daughter run up to me and said "mummy I got another trophy" but I  wasn't sure what she mean until she show me the award she recieve from her Karate club and on the award it said "the best newcomer of the year" at this point it finally sink in to me that she is very good at Karate.
