As a teenager I practiced Kickboxing for a fews years and even participated in some fights. I’ve always loved martial arts and enjoyed a movie with good fighting scenes. I think that martial art is a great outlet for kids. It teach discipline, commitment, having a strong body and mind, and I am so happy to have my boys registered in martial arts. They have been practicing Taekwondo for a few months now and they have both really been enjoying it. I want to introduce you to their coach Brock Allan Dale Fee owner of Cascadia Sports literacy. I am so impressed by Master Brock’s ability to connect with the kids. My older son didn't want to participate at first and Brock engage with him and was so persistent in his approach with him, now he his having a blast.  Brock teaches such good quality classes, I have so much trust in his knowledge and expertise. His school is pretty new in Nanaimo and I highly encourage you to check it out and try it for yourself. I posted the schedule of the school at the bottom of the page, check it out.

<a href="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Brock.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1644 alignright" src="http://www.choose2be.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Brock-300x251.jpg" alt="master Brock - Cascadia Sports Literacy School - Taewando - martial school - kids program - Nanaimo" width="300" height="251" /></a>Taekwondo has been a staple activity growing up in my family, even my mom got her Black Belt at 54 years old and I was lucky enough to be the one to help get her there. This sport was a unifying factor that we all shared and could talk about around the dinner table even if it was something silly like who would win in a fight between Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

I have seen students who started with me when they were 10 years old and now 20 telling me that Taekwondo is a huge part of their life that helped form them to this outgoing, confident person I see stand in front of me today. To me that is always a strong reminder that’s the reason why I became an instructor.

Taekwondo translate in the Art of Kicking and Punching now I know what sticks out at first sight is kicking and punching but it’s the art that binds everything together. It’s the movement, creativity and the thought behind it all that connects everything.

But if we allow ourselves to learn to be okay with making mistakes and take things one day at a time we lose that weight of worry and allow ourselves to enjoy what we are doing and grow. That is one of the big things that I teach and encourage my students to do and this is one thing I tell myself every day.
