TAEKWANDO BABY!


So, Oakley and I have started a new adventure together. We are now taking Taekwando and it is sooo much fun! We go twice a week and have been doing it for about 6 weeks now. We are both white belts but will get to test for our advanced white belts in June. I have always wanted to get into marshal arts and I am kicking myself that I waited so long to start.
We take over at Black Diamond Taekwando in Herriman and we have a great master. While we are learning all our blocks, kicks and punches, we have gotten to break boards and spar a little here and there and may I say how satisfying it is to be able to kick the crap out of someone in the name of fun!!!
As always, Oakley is fearless! She does amazingly well. She has a few problems with all the pivoting we have to do, but we are 2 of 3 girls in our class and she is better than most of the boys in the class. Just one more thing to make me more than proud to be her mom!!!
As we continue to test and move up in rank we will keep posting. It can take up to 3+ years to get a black belt, but that is a goal that both Oak and I have so cheer for us and come along for the ride!!!!
