I just had to post this. This is my grandson Clayton who's 12. He takes tae kwon do lessons and this time he was going for his second belt. He's the only one in his class that broke the board with his foot in the first chop! I was so proud! Its such a thrilling sport to watch too! I'd really love to try myself but I'm afraid I'd look really silly out there in the getup..lol..Thanks for the looks and words my friends. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

So what you're saying is 'Don't mess with Joanie - or else!'. Congrats to the little chopper and always nice to see that we have lives beyond Caedes.

Now this brings back memories ... I started taking Tae Kwon Do in my mid thirties & was two belts away from getting a black belt. My instructor up & moved away. Wonderful capture Joanie ... the detail is excellent as well as the lighting. Congrat's to your grandson & tell him to stick with it ... there is more to martial arts than just breaking boards as he probably already knows.

Thanks for the memories!

Clayton is Mighty Good at this Kung Fu Tae Kwon Do Stuff. Taking on Two Guys and A Sheet of Plywood. He must have The Title Giant Grasshopper or something Offical to Kung Fuing.

You must be Very Proud of Him.
Thanks for sharing.
Wish you had showed his Face so I'd Know who to avoid in the Future.

Would the next belt be red? Looks like he is really into this and that is such a good thing. My son has taken Jukido for many years too. A Happy Thanksgiving to you, Clayton and your family.

Congrats to your grandson. I know how hard this road is and I applaud him for his efforts.

Your shot is definitely more than a snap and one that I'm sure he'll treasure !
