Last week, our children attended their first board-breaking event for taekwondo. Our nearly 9 year old son had broken boards many times before, while our nearly 6 year old son only did it once before during his last belt test. His twin sister, however, had never broken a board before, so she was a little nervous. Everyone did very well and our daughter had nothing to worry about. I knew this all along because I have seen her hit her brothers so hard that she actually made them cry.
Here are a few photos to show you the highlights of the event. You can see more photos here and here.

Cool pics! I want my grandson to get into this. It would be so good for him and I know he'd enjoy it. Problem is finding one near us. Loved that flying sidekick pic!

Wow--this brings back some great memories. My son holds second-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I credit his training there in part for his great self-discipline as an adult.

@BethElderton: That's great to hear Beth! That is the main reason I signed my children up for TKD in the first place. We are lucky to have found such an excellent school.
Happy Holidays!!! :)
