My nine-year-old son has been busy studying Korean terminology for an upcoming TaeKwonDo belt test where he will try for the 'Red to Black Stripe' belt level.
Davide can understand parts of the Korean language which correspond to his belt levels very well thanks to his instructors at Grasshoppers and the studying he does at home.
Often times, when my wife and I test him, we'll slip in some higher-belt phrases to try and throw him off, like recently when we said: ' Dwiah Yeup Chagi, Mom Dollryuh Yeup Chagi. '
“That's a jumping sidekick, 180 side kick,” he said proudly, and then went on to perform the Black-belt manoeuvre in our kitchen, which ended with a chair slammed to the floor, a sore foot, and one old Black Lab running for cover.
