ElliottG Posted November 24, 2001 Share Posted November 24, 2001 Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Just some quick background information - I am currently and orange belt, 40 yrs old, and have been doing tkd now for 6 months, with my teenage son. Really enjoying myself, and it's great to be able to train with my son. Lots to learn, but who's rushing ??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiFightsMS Posted November 25, 2001 Share Posted November 25, 2001 Hi Elliot It is always nice to meet another over 40 :nod:. I have been involved in a family oriented karate program and it is really great to train with a family member. Hey it may take us a bit longer than others but we still get a LOT out of it right?

ElliottG Posted November 25, 2001 Author Share Posted November 25, 2001 SaiFightsMS You are correct my friend !! It certainly takes me longer than the kids, expecially the hapkido !!! Really enjoying it and I think it is something that my son enjoys doing with me as well ! Thanks everyone for the enthusiastic welcome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBN Doug Posted November 26, 2001 Share Posted November 26, 2001 I'm the other way around. I'm the upper belt, and my kids are following my lead. It's still just as nice to have them involved.

ElliottG Posted November 26, 2001 Author Share Posted November 26, 2001 KSN Doug, Interesting - how long have you been training in tkd ? how about the kids ? I find tkd particularly interesting since given my competitive nature, my son feels that I do not have the "upper hand" on him in tkd, which I think incents him even more !! In fact, our Master has continued to advance my son ahead of me, which I absolutely support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
