Kara... say what...? I thought the boys do tae kwan do?
They do.
But their do jang was invited to participate in a tournament in Rigby anyways. A few rules were different. For instance, karate-style sparring includes a lot of stopping (every time a point is awarded) vs tae kwan do that continues non-stop for the alotted time, oh and contact is very light. We struggled a bit with that part of it!...our bad....
A point is awarded to Jake as he and Lander spar
And forms were a bit different too. The karate folks did a lot of heavy breathing and arm motions. We were really glad that we don't have to sound like we are having a baby each time we do a tae kwan do form!
Jake earns a silver in sparring and forms, and demonstrates his form: tae geuk sam jang
Lander earns fourth place in sparring and forms, and demonstrates tae geuk sam jang
