Master Choe (that's pronounced Chay!) in da house?

I'm taking the frogs jnr to an interview with Master Choe tomorrow - he is a 9th level black belt (you get 10th when you die apparently) specializing in Tae Kwon Do - he is even in the Guinness Book of Records for training a 5 year old to black belt level!

Now depending on the cost and the times etc. I may even join in - it's a good way to stretch the old bones!!

Watch this space...

I am so excited for you guys! I checked the site thoroughly - he appears to be the real deal. Those kids all look happy, relaxed and like they WANT to be there. I would expect to pay a fair amount for lessons from a 9th degree Grand Master - but it would so be worth it.

Good luck! Keep us posted! :)

Well - it is expensive, but he IS a Grand Master, right? What are you hoping he gets out of it?

Well he doesn't need discipline, he is very respectful towards others... what I am hoping is that he gains some self-confidence and improves his fitness levels. The major factor here is that he really wants to do it.

I was very proudly watching him yesterday as he was given one-on-one training from Master Choe himself :) Oh, and he also knows what a 'crunch' is now :D

I couldn't agree more Ashlea! From the short time I've spent there it's obvious that everyone is there because they want to be.

Thanks for your comments :)

Well here we are in all our glory (and a lot of pain in the middle pic!) Thanks to my Garmin GPS watch (early Birthday present!) I was able to pace us to perfection.... we started out a little fast - had to pull in the reigns a little as all the newbs were a little over-zealous !!!! I noticed a few people pulling out before mile 3 with shocked looks on their faces :( ... by the halfway mark we'd managed a very respectable 3hr14m which gave us some breathing room for the 7hr cutoff time. 18 miles was our landmark - we'd not gone further than that in training... we had beaten our previous time by over an hour! I would say the last mile was probably the toughest, longest mile of our lives but the feeling at the finish line was more than overwhelming... yes, there may have been a tear or two!
