Tae Kwon Do at N.N.P.S.

Today the 7/2/03 was the grades 4,5,and 6 2^nd session of Tae-Kwan-Do, which means: Foot-Fist-Way. Karate means empty- hand-way. We once again we took off our socks and shoes   and then we did our warm ups. After that we were in business!

We did two different types of kicks they were the snap kick which was a straight up kick, and the turn kick where we had to lift our knees and rotate our other foot. We kicked a red pad with the flat of our foot so it didn’t hurt! We also had to remember to shout when we kick.

We also did some punches; we did high, middle and low punches. We were asked to close our eyes when we did some of the punches, because then we focused on what we were doing instead of what everybody else was doing.

“I give you the same respect as you give me” these where the words of Tony. To end the session we bowed to show respect, then we put our shoes and socks back on and the little kids came in to start their session. We all had a fantastic time!
