			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eli, my son, just barely turned 3.  Before he could even walk, I remember teaching him how to balance on against a chair executing a front and side kick into my palm.  He watches me teach and often practices his hyung when I&#8217;m supposedly not looking.  Soo Bahk Do being a passion of mine, it shouldn&#8217;t surprise you to see me beaming with joy with his interest in Soo Bahk.</p>
<p>Tonight was the highlight so far.  He grabbed my hand and brought me into my office, shut the door and asked me to turn off the lights.  It&#8217;s now dim in the room and not overly dark.  He then says, Daddy Soo Bahk!  He starts kicking and punching.  I get down on my knees and teach him how to do a low block and a punch.  He crosses his hands really well and usually brings his hand across in a low block fashion.  His punches were good too&#8211;relatively straight and was even making a proper fist.</p>
<p>Half way through the 10 minute lesson, he asked for a uniform, which of course I already had saved waiting for the moment he would finally want one.  I put it on him and it fit just right.  He then wanted me to put mine on, which I did.  We continued the lesson after a short photoshoot.</p>
<p>He was really interested in not just playing around, but wanted to learn really badly.  I hope to be able to do small 10 minute sessions with him now that he is 3 that way he&#8217;ll be prepared to enter the Tiger Tots class when he turns 4.</p>
