"Defensive kicking" - now that's a new one! And here's another: "We looked at all the self-defence sports," and chose taekwando over judo, jui-jitsu and karate because "it strengthens both the upper and lower body." I wonder what parts I miss out strengthening - apart from my brain?
I you look past these bloopers, this is a heartwarming and inspirational story about a 32-year-old with Down syndrome.
Story:
Phillip Sherman gets quite a kick out of taekwondo.
In fact, over the past 13 years of slow but steady training, Sherman, 32, has given, and tried to block, quite a few during regular practice sessions.
Defensive kicking is the mainstay of taekwondo, the martial art that retired teacher Julia Sherman chose for her son -- who has Down syndrome -- to help him develop strength, discipline, respect, pride and independence.
