Shadow Boxing

Edmund D. Fountain Read his story: Three little blond boys stood in a line in a strip-center dojo in Hernando County's rural east end. Gambatte Karate is in the Sunrise Plaza with a Quiznos sub shop and a Winn-Dixie grocery store. This Little Dragons class not long ago was for kids 4 and 5 years old.

"Are you ready!?!" sensei Tim Hartranft yelled.

"Yeah!" said the three little boys.

"Are you sure!?!"

"Yeah!"

"I. CAN'T. HEAR. YOU!!!"

"YEEESSS!!!"

"Because I'm a stranger," Hartranft finally said, "and I'm coming to get you!"

Re: Shadow Boxing

Man, I like this part:

"They're everywhere," Hartranft said. "It's like a virus."

The truth: Violent crime has been going down for a generation, in Florida and around the country, including child abductions, murders and sexual assaults. The number of sex offenses in the state has gone down every year since 1997 except one.

Kids have a better chance of dying in a car crash or falling down stairs.
