I started taking HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) TKD (Tae Kwon Do) Fit class<\/a> at Tae Ryong Taekwondo School Brentwood<\/strong><\/a> (on and off, but most recently “on”) since my friend (and Westside Mommy contributor) Jonna Coleman<\/a>\u00a0introduced me to\u00a0them in September 2015. Recently, my four-year-old daughter started taking taekwondo classes, so Master Quan<\/a> probably thought it was time I step my training up a notch and earn\u00a0my belt.<\/p>\n

When my daughter took a<\/em>\u00a0preschool TKD class about a year ago (when she was three), I decided she wasn’t ready, due to her lack of listening skills at the time. Fast forward to today…what a difference a year makes! After a few classes with the other preschool-aged kids, she earned her\u00a0white belt…<\/em>for\u00a0good listening!\u00a0Master Quan said some kids (and in this case, my kid<\/em>)\u00a0behave better when their parent isn’t present, so I take that opportunity to go on\u00a0a walk with my friend (another mom) down San Vicente to Starbucks. The long line we see every time doesn’t even bother us \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Now,\u00a0Tae Ryong Taekwondo School Brentwood<\/a><\/strong>‘s second adult morning HIIT TKD Fit class (at 11:00am) includes traditional taekwondo training. I earned my white belt several weeks ago<\/a>, after\u00a0memorizing the Tae Ryong Taekwondo creed. June 10th,\u00a0I will test for my yellow belt! I have to memorize the first form (Taeguk 1), be able to recite the creed, and make sure my moves are correct (and sharp).<\/p>\n
