Madison and Taekwondo

The word Taekwondo itself is made up of three Chinese/Korean words: Tae, meaning to kick or jump; Kwon, meaning fist or hand; and Do, which means "the way." Loosely (if not literally), it can be thought of as "The Way of the Hand and Foot."
Madison is taking Taekwondo 2 times a week and she seems to really love it. I think it is a good sport for her. They really focus on not only the physical body but the mind and character as well. The instructor is great and he has a focus each week, such as self control, discipline, or perseverance. Madison is not only gaining strength, balance, technique, and focus she is learning to show respect and take responsibility for all of her actions in all areas of her life.
Maddie is on the far right in this picture.
