Here is a movie of me getting ready to portage a 70-pound canoe across a 50-yard path between two lakes. The two program assistants, Eric and Sarah, helped me heft it up, then I was on my own to walk with the canoe balanced on my shoulders. (It has a padded yoke.)
It was hard work but very satisfying!

Welcome to the Tae Kwon Do Mom blog. I haven't always been a black belt--I began Tae Kwon Do in January of 2005, and I've chronicled my journey on this blog. Keep up with my latest training, or look through my archives. I'd love to hear your comments!

Haha, well, it's not TKD, but it's something! I've recently started training in Okinawan Kenpo Karate Kobudo. I already knew some of the weapons kata, but I'm totally lost on the openhand. The Kyoshi is crazy good, though. He lived/trained with Master Odo in Okinawa for several years in the 60s. Anyway, that's really fun, but I'm having to take a break from everything for about a month because of a stupid back injury. Grr..
I read the post before, from May, and I want to know if you are going to continue posting. I'd love to read the taekwondo adventures of a mother, of a woman, because it's not common to find something like that on the internet (that's a surprise, isn't it?)
I practiced TKD in South America several years ago, and I became blue belt. I had to quit because of an injurie (grrr) and now I'm starting all over again in a new US school... from white belt. Well, I'm a yellow belt now anyways... *sigh* LOL
Have a nice week,

Hi, Hope you are still doing TKD. I came across your Blog a couple of days ago and have started reading it through from the beginning ( have now read the first year of your blog).
Am finding it really interesting becuase, I started TKD just a few months after you and like reading about the similarities and diferences between your training and mine. Also my children are also doing TKD and the eldest is still attending but not enjoying it like he used to.
I may post a bit more about the diferences between your training and mine if you are interested?
having only looked at your first year of training I must say your front snap kick looks awesome already and also your jumping side kick break.
Hey!
I just found your blog, a year to late but anyhow. I'm a Norwegian girl who's been practicing TKD for over 10 years. I have 2 dan black belt, and I loved reading through your blog archives, seeing your progres.. I hope you start blogging again soon.

I'm looking at your picture in the upper left top corner of your blog. Your hand placement is incorrect. You are supposed to be blocking your solar plexus. Move your hand up. No offense intended. We all have little things that needs tweaking. If your style actually does it that way please let me know.

It's wonderful to see women taking up martial arts.
Great post!
Glad to see you posted one more. But then stopped? Tae kwon do moms are hot.
I love how dedicated you to martail arts, especially TKD. I think more people should study and learn a martial arts for a better life style.
Good post! Love to know most women are taking martial arts!
I believe the Korean Martial Arts are the most practical defense systems. I like this page.
I have four cats of which three I adopted from a shelter and one I saved from the streets. The one cat named Angel who I rescued from the street had a chip. However, when the owners were contacted they did not want her back so I kept her. We discovered she has multiple cancers. One year later she is doing well with the help of a NYC animal hospital.
I love your article.
I recently started taking martial art for self defense. Your blog is a real inspiration to me. Great Job!
It is so inspiring to know that you are a mom and also martial arts educated!
It is sad that there are many diabolical beings out there victimizing women. What is more tragic is the assault on children. Martial arts should be part of the school curriculum.
Unfortunately it appears that the link to the movie is broken. Or maybe my computer is just acting up.
Are you back to training yet. I loved reading your post. It certainly inspired my own training.
Thanks,
Troy

Thanks to my father who told me regarding this web site, this blog is genuinely awesome.
Hello! I could have sworn I've been to this blog before but after
browsing through some of the post I realized it's new to me.
Anyways, I'm definitely happy I found it and I'll be bookmarking and checking back frequently!
Broadband through satellite is beamed too a satellite dish that is installed at a home or business.
Likke Verizon, Sprint does not provide nationwide
coverage of Wi - Max; instead, they offer 3G moble broadband
services for cities lacking Wi - Max access.
Once you are satisfied, bbuy yourself a prepaid starter
kit, wiith sim and data.
Fibre optyic caables allow more data to travel through them than copper,
which helps to increase internet speeds. Chances are you
will alsdo come across from friends and relatives who have the same resolutions
yyou do and you can use the friendly competition, or juset support, to keep you going.
Just over 12 monghs ago, telecommunication companies started to market
a new mobile broadband moddem cakled a Wi - Fi or Mi - Fi modem.
Sweet blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I've been trying for a while but I never seem
to get there! Many thanks
Boadband through satellite is beamed to a satellite dish thqt iis installed at a home or business.
The most important device is thhe satellite dish that facilitates the two way data communication. If you start your own business, Verizon wireless broadband is the great tool too reach the internet via a network router.
You could talk as mucch as you want without the need to worry about how much your phone
bill is going to be. They also offer discdounted rates for
those who need to surf the web for longer durations
as well as for night packages. If someone sees your child with a wallet
full off cash, they may seem like easy pickings for vagabonds.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) uses much stronger encryption than WEP and sshould be uswd in preference to WEP
when necessary. Secondly, test what speed you're currently
getting. If you don't have the money for a private teacher, or you just prefer to
work on your new skill alone, the internet can also come in very
handy.
WPA (Wi-Fi Proteted Access) uses much stronger encryption than WEP annd sjould be used in preference to WEP
when necessary. Some of the most recent numners show that just over 46% of Americans use the internet in order to file their taxe on a regular basis.
ISPs usually offer competitive rates, so you shouldn'texpect mich discrepancy between these.
Signals from satellite disheds positioned in a low look angle are more likely to experience such
a problem. Youu can classify wireless internet service providers in two groups
based on the area where they operate. Each and every household
is different, in terms of children and data
usages, thereore different needs and demands exist.
The most of the time, the ssignal is active, for all of you who like to bee on-line at any time
of the day orr night. Via - Satt is looking to change the way thee world communicates with its new Exedde Satellite Internet
Service. For example, tthe art world and theater world used to
be more unto themselves.
Radios with their frequenchy hopping feature switched on further underscore this point.
In addition, women arre mire than likely to file their taxes online by using the Internal
Revenue's Service's Free File system rather than men. In addition, satellite internet serevice is not as expensive as it once was because companies are trying to compete with your business.

Hey! I understand this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
Does managing a well-established website such as yours take a large amount of work?
I'm completely new to running a blog but I do write
in my diary everyday. I'd like to start a blog so I will
be able to share my experience and views online. Please let me know if
you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring
bloggers. Thankyou!
