I loved watching my son throughout his first karate class. I felt he did a great job following directions and trying out everything his instructor asked him to try. He was brand new to karate and has a tendency to be a bit energetic and over-eager with new things, but he really held himself in check this time. I could see him hopping throughout the karate mansfield tx class, anxious to jump up and just start doing things. But, he worked very hard to hold back and do exactly what the instructor asked him to do. I was impressed with both him and the class.
