Q. How has Tae Kwon Do changed you?
A. I really enjoy Tae Kwon Do, and the energy it gives me. I try to make it a regular part of my life. At the beginning of every week, my wife and I discuss our respective schedules and those of the kids, with one of my goals being to fit in four or five classes for the week.

Q. What is the most embarrassing thing that happened to you in Tae Kwon Do?
A. Master Chong was having me practice breaking a board with a stepping side kick. Three times in a row I missed the center of the board and kicked his thumb. I felt really guilty, and was really glad and quite relieved that I broke the board on my next attempt.

Q. What are your hobbies?
A. Cooking, helping the kids with their homework, driving fast cars.

Q. What made you want to join Tae Kwon Do?
A. I enrolled my daughter in the Little Tigers class. I came for several weeks, watching her from the chairs with the other parents. I became intrigued by the intensity of the adult classes I watched either during or after her class, I decided to give it a try. It has been almost three years now. My daughter has long since moved onto other things, but I have become a regular. I really enjoy it.

Q. What are you best at in Tae Kwon Do?
A. I can kiap very loud. It helps to offset some of the weaknesses I still have with my forms and techniques.

A. I will be at the back of the class. I will be the one with the loud kiap.
