our taekwondo adventure begins...

Charlie started taekwondo last week and he loves it. He had two classes with an instructor to evaluate his skills and see what class would be best for him. They were amazed by his focus and said it was the best they have seen in a 5-year-old. He is definitely behind physically but they think because of his focus and attention in class that he should hopefully be able to catch up quickly.

Here he is in his gi. They wrote his name in Korean on the collar.

And in his class...





This one is blurry but it cracks me up.
It is so fun watching him during his class. The instructors really do a good job with being strict but still giving a lot of praise at the same time. You can tell that this does not come naturally to Charlie at all, but they know how to push him just right. He has already shown some great improvement.

I think he looks especially adorable in his uniform. Even though the tag says it is size 0000, he still loooks like such a big kid.
