Any time I see that my kids have made progress in anything it thrills me — though it was a bit galling when Ray started beating me at chess. My daughter has had some fun with kotegaeshi too!

I hope your new teacher works out!

Take care,

Our dojo currently only has family class once a week, so progress has been slow, but once or twice she has turned a technique on just right and actually taken my balance (she's pretty good at shomen uchi kotagaeshi). We recently had a <i>nidan</i> move to town and join us who is interested in possibly teaching kids more regularly, so I'm hopeful that that comes to pass soon. Training with your kid is the best!
