Mac practices tae kwon do after school one day a week. He took it for one term last year and is now on his second term this year. He seems to be embracing it much more this year than last.
Today he moved up to another belt AND he broke a board in half. Pretty much a banner day all the way around.
As a side note, he and Jimmy practice their moves a lot around the house. Jimmy has never had any training in the discipline of tae kwon do or any martial art as far as I know. He practices a self-taught, Berkeley-County style of "martial art" which involves a lot of "hi-yah" utterances and redneck fighting.
Apparently Mac tried one of his father's moves at tae kwon do today and he was informed that particular maneuver was not allowed. Yet another example where the teaching should really be left to the experts. Thank goodness Mac had already gotten the new belt before the Kung Fu Panda struck.
For new belts and broken boards, I am truly thankful.

Thank you for making me smile! When I got to the "Berkeley County" sentance and the "hi-yah redneck fighting" I burst out laughing. So loud that the dog gave me a funny look.
Congrats to Mac for the big achievements!
