We were up in Tulsa this weekend for another Judo tournament...hopefully the last for a little while. It is fun to watch Taylor compete, but the fact you have to be there 5 hours before he even compete's is kind of a pain...literally! (you know those high school bleachers, without anything to lean your back up against). This tournament was really big, so it took even longer for Taylor's group to have their turn.
Here is a peek from where we were sitting...all the kids warming up.
Taylor waiting and watching.
His first "fight"...he pinned him in 10 seconds flat! I couldn't believe it!
His 2nd "fight"...this one was a bit longer then 10 seconds. This was a 9 year old boy, and apparently the kids Dad thought Taylor was choking him, and was very upset and was yelling at the ref's. It was a bit dramatic, especially being the Mom of the kid accused of doing the choking. It all turned out OK though...Taylor beat the 9 year old! (and Taylor was not choking the boy, there are at least 3 ref's that are watching carefully each round.)
Taylor hanging out with the Sensai...cheering on his teammates.
Maddie was wearing Taylor's belt around all day.
The final 3...Taylor took the GOLD again! Way to go Bud!
Watch out for this kid...you might not want to run into him in a dark alley!

Very exciting! Great job, Taylor!
I love all of the pictures. The one of him getting ready to fight his first fight is really cool.
Great job Taylor!
Go Taylor!! That's so awesome that he's so good! I want to see him sometime! And has Maddie done her dance thing yet? If not I want to see that too!
Man, he is so tough. Looks like he's really moving up quick in this sport! GOLD, WOW!!!
That is so great! I'm sure it's fun to see him doing so well in something that he really likes! Rebecca
