Karate class in Japan is a little different than NY. Class is two hours long, without breaks or games. Karate in NY is forty minutes long, and although the kids work hard, they are not pushed hard. The emphasis is on doing their best and enjoying themselves. Uta went to a class here that took place in the gymnasium where Papa went to school. When it was finished he broke into tears. He could barely walk home and moaned all through the night do to the pain in his legs. It was the hardest thing he has ever done. He said he felt as dead as a meatball. But he made three new friends and wants to go back next week.
