My kids were declined for tae kwon do!!!

You should march right in there and kick the instructor's ass!

 

Is there only one school?

Why don't you find another?

Or wait until they are a bit older perhaps?

 

ILL CALL ROYCE GRACIE OR KEN SHAMROCK FOR YOU

BO, THAT BS....

 

Tell them Chuck Norris is your attorney.

 

Maybe they knew your kids would kick everybody's asses if they let them join.

 

How about soccer? Maybe at 4.5 your kids just want to ride BigWheels around the driveway and sidewalk... is it to early to get them enrolled in SAT courses?



Not to be the jerk Bo, but if the ability to do a jumping jack is the baseline preparation for a martial art, then it appears your kids aren't ready for TKD. After all this is a martial art, not fingerpainting art, and there has to be some level of integrity and standard.


Don't be that parent though. That one on American Idol who just can't believe their kid isn't pop star material.

 

Someone slap this quack with a sirloin please!!!!!

 

Dude, seriously, now you're just looking really neurotic. Says more about you than the kids. I'm sure they're just fine.

Not YET, but this is the start of it...

 

Karate men bruise on the INside! But you don't know that cause you's a big fat Barry White lookin mothaf...!

 

You're in rare form!

 

Just gotta look on the bright side: my wife told me that our son is in the 25th percentile of weight. I had never heard anyone say their kid was under 80th percentile everything - somehow all babies are like 90th percentile height and weight.

"Excellent, if he's small enough he can drive for my racing team!"

well, to be honest, i must say ur kids are pretty young, or too young for that matter. i speak on the experience of teaching taekwando for the past 6-7 years. the instructor is playing safe, as kids that age, can get hurt without anyone's notice, etc. i myself, started taekwando when i was 7 years old. believe me, introducing kids this early will not benefit them at all, because, the bigger, or elder they are, the easier to teach and the easier for them to understand. if u wanna get ur kids some exposure and interested at an early age, take them to some championships or tournaments and let them see the real deal of taekwando, instead of enrolling them at an early age and just getting them to learn the 'theory' part of taekwando...believe me man, it's freaking boring. so, take them out for some good taekwando matches, expose them to the real world of taekwando, where breaking/chopping bricks are involved..it'll interest them more...good luck...

 

Put them in Ninja and then tell them to pull a surpise ambush on the teacher and kick his ass.

 

Sounds like B.S. to me. I took to Taekwondo for 6 years and have seen kids of all ages, in my association ATA(American Association) which i'm sure they have a school near you, being the largest assoc. in the world, there was something called karate cubs, or something like that (been a few years). But that was intended for children of young ages. Plus i thought the point of it was to teach them how to do such things as jumping jacks.

 

4 1/2 is kind of early. the school that I instructed at wouldn't consider anyone under 6. This isn't only for safety, but for attention span, physical coordination......many of those things aren't there at 4 1/2 . Don't worry about it. Bring them back in 1 year. If you enrolled them too early, they really wouldn't have gotten anything worthwhile out of it, and you'd just been wasting your money. 5 1/2 isn't like they'll be "old" lol

 

Bo, this is why God made AK-47s. With auto-sears.

 

"It ain't cool being' a jive turkey 'dis close ta Thanksgivin' "

 

Dang, I was going to make a gun reference, but you beat me to it!

 

When my oldest kid was in kindergarten, his teacher alarmed us because in her estimation, he had poor motor skills, exhibited by his oral something or rather. She encouraged us to have him tested at some snake oil shop. We did. $400 later, the snake oil salesman told us he needed weekly sessions at $200/per. I got angry and told them all to f*** off. That same 'poorly developed' kid is now a straight A student, is in the high achiever group at school, represents his grade in the state academic challenge, is on the student council, and is a starting midfielder on a club select soccer team. He's 10.

I wish I had my $400 back.

Bo, don't let the ba$tards get you down.
