Kitty Judo


Kittens know budo. At least, they know how to beat the crap out of each other. I was watching a couple of kittens duke it out this afternoon at my grandpa's house, and I had to laugh knowing this is how many martial arts moves were named. It's funny how things change when you become a martial artist. I swear I saw a kitten defend itself with a gedan uke/ bear claw combo.Or maybe I'm just studying my karate terms too much. Kittens know throws too. I saw one knock another on his ass. I should try some of these moves in class sometime. I got an interesting observation from my sensei. He said he loved it when I was "totally clueless about a move, because you only need to show her once and she's got it" Is that a compliment?
