Jay Allen came home from school and told Cammie, "I really like Brooke. I play with her every day at school and I feel like I will marry her one day."
Cammie asked, "How does Brooke feel?"
Jay Allen responded, "A little furry. Like a stuffed animal."

The Most Honorable Warrior, Jay Allen
Jay Allen started Taekwondo last week and he is a natural! Though he was in a class with older and more experienced kids, he became an instant standout. He was a head shorter than the next smallest student, but he jumped higher and ran faster than all but the teenage students.
A couple of the older students helped Jay Allen understand the commands and the sequence of instruction, but when they got to the sparring, he knew what to do. Jay Allen punched and kicked his partner for 20 minutes without relenting. He had the kid on defense the entire time and when the big kid did land a kick, Jay Allen ignored it and came right back at him. I know what you all are thinking, but I did remain silent and seated while I watched this (as all the signs request), though I wanted to stand and yell, "HIT HIM! KNOCK HIM DOWN! DON'T LET UP!"
Jay Allen has a fighter's spirit and moves like a natural athlete. Master Lee does an outstanding job of working with the students and has a very impressive resume that you can check out at the link below. I hope this combination puts our very energetic five year old on a disciplined track and I am going to take on the responsibility of pointing out the Christian principles of the instruction. So far, so good. I have him bow (/Kyong're) /before he enters my office and he is sleeping in the morning after his classes. He is better behaved, eating better, and very motivated to continue. I will keep you all updated on his belt progression:-)
AJ, Jay Allen will crush you!
