Both my 15 year old daughter and I signed up at the same time. Sensei Ron does this for the love of it and our adult classes are all like a big family with belts of every color.Total respect for each other prevails, with occasions of smiles and laughter.This is not a prescriptive Tai Kwan Do be the toughest kid in your class dojo. The feeling is a blend of art, techniques, and serious self defense.I could not be happier.
