Training in Korea...

This is some of the people in our late night adults class...we have a lot of fun while training- putting our blood sweat and tears into all that we do!
I am STILL the most flexible person I know! (Now I am the most flexible Korean I know!)
Some of the aftermath of training hard, many , many bruises and bumps and scratches and aches and pains.....
I really love training here in Korea! I train really hard and I am training with Dr. Kruk from Australia as well! I am getting a lot of training in while I am here and it is paying off! Already I have seen my timing in sparring greatly improve and even though I am covered in bruises and in pain from sore muscles I know in the end that it is all worth it! I like the training here because it is hard and challenging for me. But, similar to in Canada, everyone is still afraid of the long monstrous legs that are attached to me! They all yell "TOO LONG TOO LONG!!!" I just laugh! Even with a language barrier the classes are still a ton of fun for me! They are taught by Sean Yu, who is a 4th degree with ITF Korea and he makes us sweat and work hard! It is a joy just to say that I get to teach and train in the birthplace of TaeKwon-Do, actually where my building is located it is close to the location of where TaeKwon-Do was given its name!
Keep training hard everyone, and when I do come back to Canada I have a lot new bag of training tricks up my sleeve!!
