Cool. I feel more comfortable with kids that age doing one-step. I've seen some sparring matches that got a little out of hand, LOL!
BTW my brother took third place in a national tournament a few months ago. He'd only been in it about a year and he was going up against people with a lot more experience, but I taught him some extra stuff to "accelerate" his training, so I was happy to see the results :)
cool for your brother! After only a year, huh?
elf-boy is only nine or ten weeks into this, and go his orange belt a week ago.
