My daughter went to class on Monday and continues to have fun. She’s still learning the routine. It’s funny because she’s very small. She’s obviously not a bruiser, but she’s stronger than she looks and she’s in pretty good shape. So, she’ll do the warmups and they’re not all that difficult for her… jogging around and all that. But when she catches me looking at her, she’ll pretend to be tired. Very cute.
We each got new gis as an early Christmas present, both Gameness. I bought myself a new Gameness Pearl, after noticing that they are now available in both blue and black. I have a white one and it’s a terrific gi, durable, extremely lightweight and sharp looking without many of the patches present on the Gameness Platinum Weave. That said, I prefer a blue gi. The blue color hides blood, and I think they just look cooler.
My daughter got a Gameness kids gi… and she wanted the patches. Initially, based on the size charts, I ordered a 00, but there were problems finding them. After a few days, I called them up and asked if they could just up it to a size 0, and I’m glad it worked out. As you can see from the picture, the size 0 fits just right.
We both have class this afternoon. The new threads are all washed and ready to go get dirty.
What an absolute sweetheart!! She may be tough, but she’s still adorable.

I couldn’t be prouder of that little girl.
