Karate Kids

People think tllat karate is easy and that after one training session you can be Jean Claude Van Dammel It's not like that at all. 'You must start quite young,'

the red belt. They must then go through yellow, orange, green, blue and brown belts. After that the levels are called dans. When you get your first dan, you get a black belt. Is it a hard life? 'We usually come to the club three times a week for training, but when we're reparing for a championship we train every evening.' What about their free time? Stacy says, 'We're busy with training and there's not a lot of time. But I sometimes go to the cinema with friends.' Thei r teache r, an ex-boxer called 'Ticky ' Donovan, is very proud of them. 'Stacy and Jonathan are my star pupils. . They've both got their black belts. Now they are training for their second dan.'
