When we asked Dagan what he would like to do when we got to Australia, one of his requests was martial arts. We visited a few places and decided to join Ken Dan Kwan. It is a mixture of Taekwondo and Hapkido. Dagan is absolutely loving it. He goes just about every day. Sydney decided she wanted to give it a try, too. She is having fun, but not quite as much as Dagan.

They are white belts and are working towards earning their next belt. Dagan is in a group that has to pass 3 tip tests before he can take his belt exam. Sydney is in a group that has to pass 4 tip tests before she can take her belt exam. Each passed the first tip test and are working towards their second one. They were excited to have the black strip added to their belts showing they passed the first test. They are both hoping to be orange belts by the end of September.
Will you be able to teach Austin and Taylor any moves when you get back? Looking at the pictures, I would be afraid to meet you in a dark alley! I'll watch for your next belt!
