Kiya And So On

[ellyssian]

I took Rachel to her fourth class of Tae Kwon Do Chung Do Kwan yesterday.

She struggled through the form they worked on, and in some other areas, so she didn't feel she did good. I tried to get across to her that, for the amount of time, she was doing great, and she needed to see that and believe it.

After going on and on about how she didn't know the form, she was able to perform it at home. There are two turns that cause trouble, but, even then, for only working on the form on two of those four days, she's really nailing it. I think it helped that Justin and Deb both agreed that she was doing great.

Her movements are much sharper and more precise than I would have expected. There's a crispness in her movements that I didn't see in Justin until he performed the form after Rachel taught it to him...

I'm impressed.

It would be awesome if she takes to it. I think you have a good eye recognizing her hesitancy and encouraging her. Confidence is so precious.
