Something Positive to Share for Once =)

That is great to hear and it is so good that you are doing this with your children as well.

Our daughter went through private training for her Tong So Do black belt. She trained 1 hour one on one with her guru and then one hour in the group which consisted of families, people of all ages and races. It was a small private school and like you... a good environment to learn and be with people from all walks of life!

It is positive news to hear that some schools still do this!

Really wonderful! My dearest friend loved it enough to earn her blackbelt. I've always admired this about her and I'm happy to hear it is such a positive experience for others. Thanks for sharing a positive!

Glad you had a great time!
Yeah we have all ages and sexes taking taekwondo.
Lot's of parents take it with their kids, mothers and fathers.

Wow! Almost sounds like a melting pot!
Very cool.

That sounds like our son's judo dojo. It's a very supportive community-- the senseis and coaches really encourage the kids to introduce themselves to new students, to respect each others abilities.... and the other parents were very welcoming. I was tickled, too, that there's a fairly large Hawaiian community there (I grew up in Honolulu when I was little and have family there still) -- it felt like home.

I'm a bit confused, if you wouldn't mind clearing something up:

Are you saying this was your first experience being around a diverse group of people?

Or are you saying you are usually around a diverse group of people but they never seem to get along, and this was the first time you saw them getting along?

Or, are you saying you are usually around a diverse group of people and you never get along with them, so this is your first time you got along with them?

And I'm curious, do you get out of Georgetown much?
