I teach an afterschool Taekwondo program at my old middle school in Troy, NY. The program caters to underprivledged kids and gives them a safe place to go for a couple hours after school each day. My class meets once a week for about an hour and a half. for the past 2 weeks they practiced thins demonstration of the skills they have learned, as part of a multicultural celebration the school was having. These kids are as "beginner" as they come, but truly shined when the spotlight was cast on them! I . Please take a minute to watch the video and like us on Facebook!
Proud Instructor!

Great job! You never know how long the things that you have taught these kids will stick with them. I still remember all of the blocking sets and the Kenpo creed from when I took it when I was 5 years old. You should be very proud.

Nicely done, Sir!!!
I'll check it out from home tonight. Facebook is one of the few sites that work frowns upon.

Our local news did a story about Taekwondo scoring in the Olympics, because our school is one of the only schools in the area training with the new scoring equipment they came and did the story with us! I am very proud of my boys!
