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. i
n
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!

that is awesome that you signed up your 5 year old son to TKD (taekwondo)!!! i am in TKD myself and i have just come to love the challenge. and i am 29 years old. a challenge sometimes. i joined a year and a half ago, and i have learned so much. take care and hope to hear from you soon enough.
That’s great! I am also in TKD. I will be testing for blackbelt in September. I hope your son will stick with it long enough to achieve a blackbelt and beyond. If you want to check out some of the highlights of the Olympic TKD fighters in Athens, check out my blog, tkdchikadee.wordpress.com,
Good Luck learning Korean!!!
