Tae Kwon Do

For a long time we have heard that Tae Kwon Do is very good for children with anger/aggression issues. It teaches them about respect, self-control, teamwork and so much more. Mark and I have been talking about this for a along time, but we have put it off and put it off. I think because sports have been such a difficult thing in the past. With him doing so well in soccer this spring, we decided to go for it. Our neighbors recommended a place where her son took Tae Kwon Do. She said that they were amazing!! I called them up and scheduled us a time to bring Camden in to watch a class to see if it was something he wanted to try out.

When we got there to watch the class, Mrs. Norris asked us if he wanted to watch or try it tonight. Mark and I both looked at each other and said, we will just watch tonight, but Camden was like, "I want to do it tonight!" He was so excited! The lady disappeared behind the counter and came back with a uniform. Camden ran and changed and tried the class out! HE LOVED IT!!!!! We are actually about 2 months in now and he still just adores it!! Mrs. G, the head teacher and owner, is wonderful with him!! Here are a few snapshots of Camden in action!!!
