			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Dundas Cactus Festival" href="http://www.dundascactusfest.ca/" target="_self">The Dundas Cactus Festival</a> is THE hit of the summer and <a title="Outspoken Therapy" href="http://blog.kjstyle.org" target="_self">my very own husband</a> was it in this year!</p>
<p>Now, I don&#8217;t want you to get the wrong idea&#8230;Hubby is NOT a parade guy that when he told me I thought I her was yanking my chain. He told me he wanted to support <a title="Premier Martial Arts" href="http://www.premiermartialarts.ca/" target="_self">the martial arts club</a> he recently joined and signed up.</p>
<p>I thought that was very admiral of him.</p>
<p>However, a friend at work, who has not missed a parade in 18 years, asked if Hubby was going to do a kata in the parade. It&#8217;s very customary for the cute little kids in their martial arts uniforms to stop walking and suddenly turn to the crowd and do their routine.</p>
<p>We both agreed that Hubby should do his kata. Keep in mind that the martial arts he is studying is <a title="Krav Maga on You Tube" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07jnqD8wvyE" target="_self">krav maga</a> with a side of jiu jistsu. Krav is&#8230;.well, &#8220;an eclectic form of marital arts&#8221;, as <a title="Krav Maga on Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Maga" target="_self">Wikipedia</a> so accurately puts. It&#8217;s more of a real life training in the sense that you are trained to maim and then get out. You know, for like spies and Isreli police.</p>
<p>There is no kata. But, I still encouraged him to do it. Let&#8217;s watch the video to see what happened:</p>
