Kicking It Together: How World Taekwondo Became Our Family Sport
The journey began when my wife wanted to help our daughter get into some form of fitness or sport, and my wife chose World Taekwondo.
My wife would take our daughter Talitha to training and sit with the mums and watch the kids. After some time, the mums decided to join, so weekly they would both go to training while I sat at home with our then 3-year-old. My wife asked me when I would be joining. "I smiled and said when Caleb is 5 and eligible I'll take him and join also." Well, the years passed quickly, and at the ripe age of 59 years old, I started the World Taekwondo journey with our son Caleb.
Now we all go to training together as a family.
Personally, I enjoy World Taekwondo for:
- Personal Fitness: I love the workouts and trying to obtain agility, while the continual learning helps keep my mind focused on something away from my work.
- Family Fitness: It's beautiful to train together as a family.
- Friendships: It's been good to form new friendships and train in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.
- Core Value Teachings: Respect, fitness, confidence, discipline, focus, perseverance, and determination are a great foundation for our whole family throughout our lives.
The learnings and instruction from Grand Master Wahid Halimee, Instructor Margaret, and all the dedicated instructors is valuable and very appreciated.
