Oh, I see. I have considered learning but I kind of go back and forth. I do love watching martial arts though!

Also, just by your comment about how proud you are of him, I can tell you've been supporting him the whole time, which speaks volumes of your dedication as well. Have you ever gotten into it yourself? I'm sure it's hard not to when you're married to a practitioner.  Remember: the family that kicks together sticks together!  |
Thanks! Yeah, he told me that when he was first starting out he really wanted to quit because it was very difficult, but his mom made him stick with it a little longer. Then he ended up loving it and was so happy he didn't give up so early on. I can't wait for him to be able to go back to it. He has actually been talking about maybe trying out a different style of martial arts but he really enjoys kenpo so he's not sure if he will or not. He's only a 1st degree black belt so he'd like to advance higher. I believe there are 10 degrees but only the masters are that high and that's only like a small group of people.
When I was little I started taking karate but the instructor ended up moving away and I never went back to it. The only reason I didn't go back to it was because he was a family friend and giving free lessons and we were really poor so I couldn't go back to it. We have a 15 month old daughter who my husband is going to start teaching when she gets a little older so maybe when he starts teaching her I'll join them. I'm not sure yet though. He's been wanting to teach me for a long time. I do know a few defense things but not much. Lol, I'll remember your comment about how, "the family that kicks together sticks together!" That's a good one!
