I am LOVING the Tae Kwon Do classes here on Yongsan's Army Post here in South Korea. Grand Master Kim is our teacher. He teaches us what we must know to pass the Kukkiwon black belt test. Since we're in South Korea only for a few years at the most, Master Kim helps us to strengthen our bodies and minds quickly. The opportunity to test at Kukkiwon was unbelievable, intimidating, and powerful all at the same time. It's a loud place with many, many students testing and families watching. I still can't believe I had the chance to do that alongside my 4 kids, husband, and several classmates. What a memory!
I know there's a lot more to learn and that the classes in the States teach many other things (like board breaking and cool jumping over people kicks), but I'm so thankful that Master Kim worked us hard, expected much of us, and taught us what we needed to know to experience getting our black belts here in Korea. I am humbled when I think about all I still have to learn, but I take it one class at a time. I'm so thankful for many classmates who've given me help (THANKS LARRY!). Thanks to Larry, I've gotten a taste of the other fun tkd stuff like board breaking and working out to peppy music. I hope to continue tkd wherever our family moves.
