The Karate Kid

My “little” 16 year old brother Darren had a Karate Tournament today in Jefferson City that Missy and I were able to attend. I don’t get to hangout with my little brother that much but he is a very accomplished martial artist. He got his black belt when he was 15 and has won a few amateur kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts matches over the last year. He also teaches younger kids a few days a week at American Martial Arts Academy.

I haven’t practiced any martial arts in the last 4 years and Missy never had but we got drafted into helping judge today and it was pretty cool. We even got an awesome sword out of the deal.

I was also able to get some great pictures:

Here is Darren slamming a guy during his MMA Fight.

Here is Darren nailing the crap out of his opponent.

Here is Darren rolling up a guy in a leg lock.

Here is Darren doing Kali Silat.

Here is Darren doing his Black Belt Kata.

We have about 60 more here.

Here is a picture from yesterday that was missed. Darren picks up this guy with one arm and drops him on his back. The sad thing is I remember when I used to do stuff like that to him now he is doing it to guys who out weigh him by 30 pounds.
