Taekwondo Ammon


Ammon and Simeon started a Taekwondo class through the Iowa City Recreation program a month ago and they both LOVED it right away. Heck I loved it to. Master Smith talked about thanking parents, making thier beds, self control, all while teaching them taekwondo moves.
Ammon was so into the class that he wanted to continue to take them. He decided that he would rather do taekwondo then play baseball.
Last Saturday I got up the nerve to go into Master Choe's and find out about signing Ammon up. When we walked in Master Choe came right out and he was drawn to Ammon. He talked with us about his classes and let us watch a Black belt class for a little bit. He was very nice and really liked Ammon and wanted him to come back at noon for the children's class. We had plans for that day, so we came back today.
Ammon went into class, then Master Choe brought him out and got him a uniform. Ammon was over the moon excited to have a real Taekwondo uniform.

Well he loved the class and wanted to keep coming. So this week he took 4 classes at Master Choe's and finished his last class with Master Smith.

The nice thing about Master Choe's is that you can make the classes work into your schedule. We pay a set price each month and then Ammon can go to as many classes as he wants. He could go to 2 classes every day if he wants to. He needs to go to at least 24 classes in 12 weeks to promote.


The next promotion is on May 5th and he is hoping to have learned enough to get his yellow belt.
