On Saturday morning, Jordyn's entourage (Mommy, Daddy, Sister, Nana, Papa, Mise, Pop, Uncle Randy, Auntie Lisa and Uncle Jeff ) gathered at the World Martial Arts Center to watch her test for her yellow belt. Jordyn had been studying her questions and practicing her moves in preparation for the big day. I wasn't quite sure if she'd come out of her "shell" for the big event (I know, surprising...but she is actually shy when she's doing taekwando...don't know who that kid is for those 45 minutes). She surprised us all with her loud "hae-ya's" and powerful kicking and punching....
With a room full of parents and other kids testing for their belts, Master Kim (sitting up front with the two other judges) asked Jordyn, "what do you learn at this school?" She replied, "Taekwando sir." Master Kim then asked."What is taekwando?" Jordyn replied (in the most quiet of voices).."A Korean martial art that uses bare feet and hands to train mind and body...simply described as kicking and punching sir." That was Mommy's favorite part (because she was most nervous about her questions). Jordyn's favorite part...breaking her board! See below....
