"Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting"

Earlier today, we headed out for our first taekwando tournament, which was held at a local school in Kisumu.  Sutton decided that he didn't want to compete, Seth was too young (it turned out later that there was a 5-year old group), but Connor was ready to put her two lessons of taekwando to the test. 

How do you spell tough?  T-A-E-K-W-O-N-D-O

Connor quietly ponders whether she should "sweep the leg."

Connor, Jack, and Chris hang out with the other future MMA stars.

This little girl won the medal for "Best Ponytail."

 Connor's opponent . . . don't let her looks fool you -- she was a trained killer! 

Round 1 of the Fight of the Century; I would've shown the other two rounds, but they were just too bloody for this blog.

The slate of competitors

Connor waits patiently for her well-deserved prize.

Here I'm giving Connor some pointers on the crane-style of kung-fu (while eating potato chips).

Some good lookin' taekwando mom.

Connor proudly shows off her gold medal!
