It’s great to get in the dojo and train, but it’s even better to do it with your family.

Nothing says quality time with your family better than the opportunity to kick your child in the head or having them throw you to the ground and punch you.

In all seriousness though, getting into the dojo as a family is a great way to spend quality time, but the benefits don’t stop there.

Normal family hierarchies can be turned on their head. Especially when the kids start training first which is often the case. In this case, the parents are the juniors and the kids are their seniors.

I love the way karate helps us look at things in a different way.
