Taekwondo in Danville CA

I signed my 5 year old son up for Taekwondo at Tao Sports in Danville CA.  They are located at 462 Hartz Ave. in Downtown Danville CA right next to Bridges Restaurant.    It’s run by Rick Kemsly who is a multi level black belt.  Wow are these guys great with kids!  Rick’s wife Diane spent a half an hour giving him a private lesson.  After that he joined the other kids his age and did a great job.

It reminded me of when I studied Shotokan Karate a few years back and the things I learned.  Self discipline, control of your body and mind, and mutual respect of your peers, your teachers and yourself.  Gee, all the things you would want your 5 year old to learn.  He even has to say sir and ma’am to the instructors.

 They have a Tykesport program for 3-5 year olds.  Also a great option.  I think my daughter is more into dancing and gymnastics like from my previous post on the Little Gym.  I wouldn’t rule out the girls though.  They usually have better coordination than boys at that age.

Anyhow, I am excited to watch him as he progresses.  Plus, I get to learn Korean with my son.  Wait a minute….I’ve got an 80 lb son who is learning martial arts.  Maybe I need to brush up as well!
