Teaching and Tae Kwon Do

By Amy Mercer

Libby Gruner, LM’s Children’s Lit Book Group columnist, has written an article titled, “Teaching and Tae Kwon Do” in the March 21st issue of Inside Higher Ed. Libby, the self-described “least athletic person I know,” joined her son’s class after an invitation from his teacher. In the article, Libby says,

“Some days class felt like an anarchist miracle. How did we all, at our various levels, learn? And stay focused, and not get bored? I watched as Master Gibson walked beginners through chong ji, the first pattern; kids with higher belts moved right alongside, in patterned unison. He praised, he corrected, he encouraged. I began to wonder if I could apply the lessons to my own teaching.”
