Hello, I've been a lurker for some time and posted a couple times already and thought I should introduce myself :)

I've been training in Kyuki-do for just about 2 years and I love it! In fact, it's consumed me! It's filled a void in my life and I feel as if I'm complete now that I have martial arts in my life. I started off taking my 2 daughters to the park district classes right after their girl scout meetings. I remember the second time I brought them, we were a few minutes late and the instructor had me (since I was the driver) drop and give him 10 push ups!! I was lucky to be able to do 2 complete push ups! HAHA! The following class he had the parents join and I haven't been able to stop going! In fact, we moved from the 2 days a week park district program to going 4-5 days a week at the dojang. It's still not enough for me! LOL Luckily my husband and kids are in it too so we get to spend time together doing the same thing and it gives us all something in common.

I'm looking forward to learning quite a bit from MT!!

Do you still train in Kyuki-Do? If not, what are you currently train in?

GM Kim is a wonderful man! He just wrote a book that talks all about his history and Kyuki-Do. I'm very impressed to see something he started expand to the size that it is now. I hope I can leave an impact like that.

Thanks Shesulsa!

What level of GS are your girls? I'm a leader for 2 troops. I have 3rd grade Brownies and 5th grade Junior Girl Scouts. I've had both troops since Daisy's. It's fun, but a lot of work. The older girls are at the age where I feel more like a teacher rather than someone to help them with their crafts! LOL Thank goodness for the internet!

My girls are all older girls, 3rd year Cadette this fall. And yes, I hear you about the "teacher" part. Our girls haven't really been progressed properly, much to my vehement dissention, so I think if we don't get them properly going this year, it will likely be their last. Fine with me, I'm thinking of leaving GS anyway, but that's another thread. ;)

Our council is merging neighborhoods into Vistas, following the Illinois Crossroads Council precedent right now, just curious if you've heard of that?

Anyway, welcome again! There are many subforums here, PM me if you need any help or have questions, k? YIGGGS!
