James is allowed to train again (at last)

James came back to training this week. Great to see him training again, and we both have high hopes of progressing this year. He'll be working on Taegeuk Sam Jang as he hopes to rise to Green Belt. Many thanks to all those who left comments, or sent messages through the contact page expressing their dismay/surprise at his not being allowed to train - I sincerely hope this will never happen again and that his mother and school come to appreciate that his Taekwondo training is only beneficial, not detrimental to his physical and psychological development. With James training again, I get to go more often, so from a personal point of view this is also great news - more Taekwondo for me!

We're both hoping to compete in the upcoming ChungDoKwan National Championships next month. Hope to meet lots of other Taekwondo addicts there!

Something different

Got an e-mail this week through the website contact form which I can't help but talk about. Mark sent me a link to his online collection of Taekwondo stamps. Check it out:
