Superwife - Camo belt - D

My wife of 8 years and mother of our three kids. She started TKD after the birth of Odie, our third child.

Princess - Camo Belt - D

Our seven-year-old daughter. She was originally supposed to be a spectator to Cowboy, but jumped in and has proven to have an incredible talent for the martial arts.

Cowboy - Camo Belt - D

Our six-year-old son. He is small for his age, so starting him in TKD is what got us into this mess. He is very close to our Chief Instructor, and his spirit is twice as big as he is.

Odie

Our youngest son, born in April of 2006. By the time he is old enough to start, we should all be Black Belts.

Countdown

Three weeks or so until our first test.

They're going to give SW and I a special session for testing since I'll be gone to Fort Walton Beach for five weeks. We've gotten the form and one-step down, and although it's excrutiating, my round kick is coming along. I thought that any pain from my hip would be slwoly getting better, and it has.

Then we tried side kicks for the first time on Tuesday.

Ouch.

One thing that I am fortunate enough to have is power. I almost knocked the bag over every time I did a side kick. The I would limp back to my place at the back of the line.

LOL (with you, not at you.) I feel your pain! I'm sidelined with bad back pain right now. I'm hoping to just continue to rest and take a break, and get back into the swing of things next week.
