Tackled

The mats were out today at kids Kung Fu, and the balance beams, so lots of fun and a bit of an obstacle race for the littlest ones. After that we tried teaching a new throw to all three classes, this a fairly crude one that's pretty much like a rugby tackle. 
Not an easy one to do unless you really mean it, which makes it hard to slow it down to teach it. The little kids love the throws, they seem really comfortable being swept off their feet, but the older teens and the grown ups really aren't keen on it at all. And I spend the whole time worrying that I'm going to break my wrist because I just can't help putting my hands out to break my fall. And when you get to my age, you can't be too careful.
