PpppppffffPOW!

Today's tale from the mat:

Six-year-old Michael has been a student for about a month. He's quiet, shy, and unsure of everything. He often forgets to kihap (use his spirit voice) while kicking and punching, and when he does remember, his voice is always soft.

Yesterday during knee kick drills, though, he FOUND HIS VOICE! Exxxxxxcept his kihap was more like a spewing, spitting "PpppppffffPOW!"

Do you tell a young man who's finally found his spirit to not spit in your face while you're holding a power kicking bag?

Eventually.

But not today.
