TaeKwon Do is my new love!

I decided tonight at Tae Kwon Do that I really like it. Last week I had debated about not going anymore but it's so relaxed and the experienced people who come to our class are so nice and helpful that I really just like going. The other beginning adults and I have sort of bonded over feeling uncomfortable, having to be corrected on our stances and being sore!

Tonight we learned our first set of moves that are used to advance levels and it was really cool! The instructor, James, and this blue belt guy that came tonight demonstrated the "dance moves" with the moves we learned and it looks like a choreographed fight sequence in a martial arts movie. We practiced and practiced our moves just in rows but soon we'll be practicing with partners. James and the blue belt also showed us the moves they know for their levels and it was really, really cool.

Just seeing how coordinated they are and how strong and flexible they have to be made me want to keep doing this. It's a great workout, it's fun to be around people, and learn about the whole TKD culture! I love it :)
