Tae Kwon Do

Six schools in the district have been given the opportunity to have a Korean Tae Kwon Do expert at their site for the next 5 years. I am hoping that the 9 remaining schools will also be getting this opportunity. During this time students and adults can receive Tae Kwon Do lessons. Students will receive a Tae Kwon Do uniform if they attend 6 consecutive lessons. The 6 teachers can attend classes with students so to improve their English speaking skills.

Tonight was the first Tae Kwon Do class for adults. It lasted one short hour and introduced the basics, such as proper stance and walk. Surprisingly, and thankfully, it was tiring! During the hour I managed to laugh, sweat, and challenge myself.

Fortunately Koyuk was one of the schools chosen, but unfortunately Shaktoolik was not. So, I can at least participate in this activity every 2 out of 3 weeks. I look forward to improving my posture, balance, and concentration while learning this fun and popular martial art.
