The Karate Kids of Lantapan

During the DOLE District C Fun Run held in Poblacion, Lantapan, Bukidnon last month, I noticed a number of young boys gathered inside the skating rink situated near the municipal gymnasium before the start of the race. At first I thought they are also joining the fun run, but I later found out that they are there to practice martial arts. With them was their instructor, clad in an all-white attire, who told us that the style of karate he is teaching the kids is called Shotokan. He is actually preparing his students hard for an upcoming competition in Cagayan De Oro City on November of this year.

Morning Snapshots: Poblacion, Lantapan, Bukidnon

I got the chance to visit the town of Lantapan recently when I joined the Dole District C Fun Run last week.  Though I've been to this first class municipality of Bukidnon a few times before, it was only during this recent visit that I was able to take a closer look of the town center.
