About two weeks ago I signed Gavin up for TKD. He had taken TKD classes back in the states but is was a special program for little kids. Several of his friends attend classes at this school so when he asked to be signed up I did.
His instructor is Master Song. He is a great guy and he is just wonderful with little kids. He also has access to Camp George because he teaches a class on Camp Walker as well. For his 3:00 class he comes to the school and picks the kids up and they all walk to the school together. Gavin takes the 4:30 class though.
This is the assistant. I am not sure what his name is. Since Gavin is new to the class he spends a lot of time one on one with him going over various moves etc. Gavin's previous TKD experience has paid off and I think some of it is just review for him.
Even though Master Song is a great teacher and a lot of fun he is still very strict and expects the kids to listen and show respect. Here he is threatening Zach with his stick. This was the first and only time I have seen this. I have yet to see him use it but I have heard he has a few times.
Here is Gavin with his Nunchucks. He cannot believe he gets to have a weapon and learn how to use it! Friday is Nunchucks day. His are smaller and padded but I think would still hurt if he hit someone with it.
Here is our upstairs neighbor, Song. She is also Zach's mom. She was keeping Abby occupied during Gavin's class. Abby loves everyone and really likes our neighbor a lot.

okay no offence but if someone threatened to hit my child with a stick i wouldn't take it. I do martial arts and respect is a large part of it. How is he teaching theese children respect and discipline if he threatens to hit them when they do something wrong or annoy him. This s only teaching them to hit someone if they get annoyed. Also he is showing a lack of self control by allowing himself to loose his temper. Any martial artist can tell you the aims of tae kwon do modesty, courtesy, integrety and SELF CONTROL. How many of theese is he really teaching your child
