And we have Taekwando classes 4 to 5 times a week. Kumon is next door to the studio so we do Kumon on the same days as Taekwando.

My two oldest have been at a Taekwando studio for 20 months, red belt, soon-to-be high red.
The promotion is every 2 1/2 month so it goes spretty quickly from white to black belt. But to get onto the high level black belt is difficult. Even the master here hasn't reached T5.
We're both busy working all year so there's little time to take the three kids out to play. During the summer the older kids have summer camps. My little one is too young for camp so he goes to Daycare except for a couple of weeks in a year.
You must have tons of free time and good patience. Generally I am not in the mood of playing with the kids unless they insist on it. It's way too much to attend to. As an adult I feel bored babysitting, watching them playing.

參加這種俱樂部訓練，孩子養成對程序的習慣和尊重，競賽刺激獲勝心和毅力。競賽旅行幫助提高孩子自理能力，等等。
運動不在於多，而在於專注。而且還可以培養團隊精神。但最重要的，是在中學階段避免吸毒。美國中學生吸毒幾乎是100%，包括華人孩子，因為環境影響是家長無法避免的，學校的風氣遠遠超過家庭的影響。
但如果孩子在美國運動協會下屬的運動俱樂部，是嚴禁吸毒的，因為競賽運動項目不允許，各方麵都盯著，孩子中間也清楚對運動能力和規則的影響，一旦被發現是會被趕出去的，因此吸毒是很羞恥和失去朋友的概念，沒人願意這樣。何況訓練占用了大量時間，不會與“壞孩子”來往。
