Ashley and Nathan began taking Tae Kwon Do at the beginning of May. Their instructor, Master Earl, is 76 and started the Peaceful Warrior program here in San Clemente about 5 years ago as a public service for underprivileged kids who might normally not be able to afford extra-curricular activities. My kids don't necessarily fall into the underprivileged category, but with 5 kids in activities, the $10 a month price tag made it affordable for us to put two kids in the program. They both love it, which is a change from the complaining I get about piano lessons and swim team. Ash and Nate were both very excited to be eligible to test for their yellow belts at the end of July. They both passed and broke a board with a heel-palm strike. Big Day!
