Our ALLSTAR Martial Artists

Jordan and Josh were given a belt test for Tae Kwon Do Saturday. Jor went for her yellow belt and Josh was aiming for his green belt. (They Passed!) Josh began his pursuit of martial arts last July so it's almost been 1 year of learning and progressing. Jordan just started because she was too bored hanging out watching brother practice and so one day 2 months ago she became a participant. WOW, she is really agressive. While sparring one of her Instructors,she was told that she was fighting "like a girl"...SHE UNLEASHED and started striking and kicking uncontollably. So from then on, they knew what button to push. Josh was awarded a special patch for being the "student of the test" on his 1st belt test back in October. On this Test, Jordan was given a special patch and recongnized for being the "student of the month". Both Jordan and Josh are so coordinated and show focus and determination. I think this sport really helps you not just for "self defense" but for "self discipline". Here is some of the Tae Kwon Do "doctrine" that the class learns...
THE EIGHT WAYS
Right Speech, Right Thoughts, Right Views, Right Aspiration, Right Contemplation, Right Behavior, Right Effort, Right Livlihood
The WHEEL
Outside of The Wheel=WISDOM Length of the Spokes=Justice HUB=God
Some class Quotes are...
"What do we say to drugs?" (Screaming answer) "NO!"
"Life is but a vapor! (Screaming answer) "Soon to be gone!"
"Without effort?" (Screaming answer) "NO RESULTS!"
"If the water is calm?" (Screaming answer) "Doesn't Mean the Crocodiles are gone!"
"If there is NO LEADER?" (Screaming answer) "YOU be the LEADER!"
"Good ENOUGH?" (Screaming answer) "NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"
I can't remember anymore right now but it is fun to hear the class yell with enthusiasm!
