Proud Mama
Feb. 18th, 2010 08:19 pmMy ten year old son Irish earned his green belt in Tae Kwon Do tonight! He broke a board with his bare foot by kicking!
He was having trouble with form and speed, so Grand Master Yang walked over to show him how to do it, adjusting his leg to the angle and physically moving Irish through the kick. Four tries later, irish made a fierce kick, and CRACK! the board broke in half. The board was not in any way pre-scored or weakened; we wrote our permission slip on it as a writing surface before class, and had a close look at it.
It happened so quickly, my darling husband missed it on the video, because of the delay in hitting the record button and when it starts up. I am amazed. And so proud!
