Tae Kwon Do

I offered Brielle cheerleading, dance, or tae kwon do.  Surprise!  She chose tae kwan do.  I was shocked.  The best part is that she loved it.  Her introductory course included 8 lessons and a uniform.  She earned three tapes, learned to count in Korean, learned all kinds of kicks and arm moves, and sparred with partners.  The sparring was cute.  Each child had two flags and the goal was to get the other person's flags.  I was surprised that she did it without getting scared since she doesn't show a lot of aggressiveness.  She got right in the "ring" and tried her best.  She didn't win a match, but she did manage to get some flags.  However, she was so stunned when she got a flag that she stopped and stared at it.  Then the other kid would rip her flags down and win.  She was the youngest in the class, so we'll see how she improves as time goes on. 

I asked her if she wanted to keep going to tae kwon do.  She said, "Yes. I want to do it until I get a black belt.  It's the best."  Glad she has such high goals!  It will be fun to see where this one goes!  :)
