First karate practice

We had obviously booked our appartments wth the idea of having a beach closeby to train at. unfortunately we couldn't find it (I know, sounds weird) for the first session so we just had a quick drill next to the swimming pool. As you can see from the photos, people weren't really warmed up properly and kicking even to stomach height was a problem. At least we didn't attract too much of an audience, because this first session was anything but impressive. Fun for me though, because I could shout at people and feel terribly important and (comparatively) competent at karate.
