Day 18: Part 1 Taekwondo

This morning we had a very interesting lecture if you can call it that.  We watched a taekwondo performace and then participated in learning kicks, punches and fighting movements.  It was an amazing workout :)



At the end I was called up to break a board.  It took 3 times before it broke but I did hit it all 3 times (maybe I was not shouting loud enough). After the fact I was told not to hit using my toes, which I did the first 2 times.  My middle toe on the right foot is still hurting but I don't think it's broken.    Here I am preparing to kick.

On the way back to the dorm I saw a group of boys playing, not soccer, basketball or any other outside sport but boys crowded around playing video games on the street.
