Yesterday’s Training

In the pictures I’ll be sharing you’ll see T doing drills with one of his teammates. It was a rough day yesterday. T had private training and team training. Trying to retrain bad muscle memory habits from bad training is not easy. When we first started out in TKD we only were looking at doing family TKD. Never would we have imagined that five years later we’d be doing elite competitions with our son. God always has other plans than we do though. So family TKD doesn’t focus on making sure they are as accurate as they need to be with their Kicks. As long as they are close they are fine with it. But when you are an elite competitor the techniques have to be just so in order to pull off whatever fighting move you are doing. So the process of breaking old bad muscle memory habits and making new ones is not an easy one as T is learning. It will come but it is going to take him doing the new techniques a ton!  He has already come so far in such a short period of time. There is also so much more for him to learn. He loves doing it. It’s challenging. Sometimes tears are shed. But T keeps going. We are so proud of all he has accomplished and is accomplishing.
