One of the things we really enjoy as a family is Tae Kwon Do! Tae Kwon Do is the Korean version of Karate, and it is not only an art of self defense, but also teaches self control and disipline.
Frank & Michele are currently the "highest ranking belts" in the family, but Kirsten and Jordan are right behind them.
And yes, I did break Michele's hand at Tae Kwon Do, and I know I will never hear the end of it. If you look real close in the picture on the left, you can see the cast on Michele's left hand!

Here on the left, you can see Frank "breaking" 5 (five), 1 inch boards, and on the right, Michele "breaking 3 (three), 1 inch boards !!!
Don't mess with Michele, she will hurt you real bad, believe me; I know !!!!

Now here are the REAL killers of the family, Kirsten and Jordan.
Here on the left, you can see Jordan "breaking" 1 (one), 1 inch board using a downward "hammer fist", and on the right, Kirsten "breaking 1 (one), 1 inch board also using a downward "hammer fist"!!!
The way we look at it, if we are ever attacked by a "lumber yard" we should have no problems kicking butt!!!!
We recently competed in a "Tae Kwon Do" tournament, and our "family" picture is below. Michele won a First Place Trophy for "sparring", and a First Place Trophy for "forms competition". Jordan won a First Place Trophy for "sparring", and a Second Place Trophy for "forms competition". Kirsten won a First Place Trophy for "sparring", and a Second Place Trophy for "forms competition". And Frank won a Second Place Trophy for "sparring", and a Second Place Trophy for "forms competition". So collectively, we took home a total of 8 trophies!

And here are a few of the trophies that we won, Jordan is so proud of his that he keeps his in his room!
