Girls Love Tae kwon do

This Fitness Article is Brought To You By - Kalynn Amadio

One evening, I was changing in the women's locker room before my adult tae kwon do lesson.

The children's class had just ended and there were two young ladies in the locker room changing out of their uniforms. I have taught both girls on occasion so I happened to know both of them. One of the girls even goes to school with my son and they are both in third grade.

I noticed she was staring at me, which is not necessarily unusual for kids in a locker room. I smiled at her and she decided to talk to me.

"Are you DJ's mom?"

"Yep," I nodded.

She didn't seem to have anything else to say so I figured our conversation was over. She surprised me when she said,

"He's really lucky."

Now, she had my curiosity peaked. My sons don't say much about what goes on at school. I think it's a guy thing. So I figured she knew some juicy tidbit that a mother would want to know.

"Why is he lucky?" I couldn't help but ask.

"His mom is very strong."

It took me a moment to process what she was saying. You see, this girl had been at my 3rd dan black belt test last October. She witnessed my break test where I was the only woman in our school to break 2 concrete paving blocks standing on end like dominoes, no one holding them. It was a pretty amazing thing that I practiced with pads for weeks in advance. I didn't try the real thing until the moment of my test, so even I didn't know if I could pull it off until it happened.

This young lady was at the test as a student earning her first degree black belt, an achievement gained by few, especially at her age. But for that short moment, she watched me like I had just walked on water.

And for just a moment I think I could have.

I'm not inclined to be a hero. I'm happy and self-conscious at the same time when my martial arts skills are lauded. However, when I remember my youth, there were few women athletes I could admire.

Girls need role models. So for that reason, I'm humbled but willing to suffer a little hero worship
