Here are pictures of Caleb at his first karate tournament. First he did "forms" which is a demonstration of a set of moves (kicks, blocks & punches), which is the top left photo. He won 5th place in this activity (there were 8 participants) and he was really proud (top right photo). Then he participated in sparring (he's on the right in the bottom left photo). He ended up paired with the child who won (who was both older and a belt level above him), so needless to say, the match didn't last long. But the kid was so gracious and told Caleb that he landed several punches.
Matt helped out with the tournament all day, and then participated in black belt sparring (he's on the left in the bottom right photo). He was also paired with the ultimate champ, but made a valiant effort, and got a bloody nose for his trouble.
