I first started Tae Kwon Do because of my son. As he got older he started to train more and more. I was doing Mauy Thai with my daughter but when they changed the times around it made it hard for me to be in 2 places at once, so my son being the youngest had my time. I could be 15 minutes late for my daughter but not for my son. If that makes any sense. But any way..... I stopped Mauy Thai and had to sit there while my son trained. I got a sore bum one one from sitting on the really hard benches they had , and decided to join in the class. NOW i just love it. I am a red belt 2 stripe or 2nd gup now. My son is now a 2nd poom black belt and is now 12 years old. He thinks he is soooo good when mum has to ask him how to do something or to show me how to do ....? its all good though.
