I do tae kwon do. I have been on leave of absence for quite some time, due to an injury and other health problems, but as soon as I get off my crutches (in 1 week from today) I will be back at it. I have been going anyway, just to watch classes.
My husband and son also take tae kwon do with me. It's a family fun time, that's for sure. It's great cause we all practice at home together too. My son is almost 14. He is considering doing the instructor trainee course as he is now old enough. I would love to see him pursue that.
For me, I would just love to get to black belt one day. I have had so many health challenges (fibromyalgia, bone spurs in both heels, plantar fascitis, bulging discs in my lower back L4 and L5 and recently, knee surgery for a torn meniscus that was repaired). Some of the stuff we do in tae kwon do is beyond what I can currently do, but my instructor is big on modification and doing what we are able to do. I would much rather do that than quit. I will get my black belt one day!
