Ian & Tae Kwon Do


Ian and his Dad started Tae Kwon Do classes last week. Ian seems to really enjoy being a part of the school. On your third class you get to perform this routine with your instructor. Its a little like watching fake stunts in a movie....Ian makes a move and his teacher/opponent reacts as if really struck. So it appeared like Ian was whooping up on a grown man, flipping him over on the mat and standing over him in victory at the end (bottom right). They also have a board breaking event where you name a bad habit that you want to break and punch the board, symbolic of breaking the habit. It sounds kind a deep for a four year old, but Ian was extremely proud to take part in it and earn his first ever trophy. He's started moving the trophy around the house to be in whatever room he's playing in. Who knows what's next!
