升级red belt

儿子的跆拳道已经上了两个多月了。从junior white belt跳级到brown belt是靠练了两年多的中国功夫的底子。有了那个刺激,自然也肯用功一些。两个月,每周两次,从没缺过。上周末升级考试前,小人儿自己在家比划,就怕通不过。昨天终于拿到了梦寐以求的red belt。一脸的得意。
乘儿子上课的机会,和master聊了一会儿。上跆拳道的目的是想磨练孩子的耐心,也多一样discipline和responsibility的训练。这个在开始就和master说清楚了。说起最近儿子在学校的frustration,以及在家里老爸为培养儿子对跆拳道的兴趣而让儿子在家教老爸一些跆拳道的基本姿势和动作,每教一次老爸付一块钱作Allowance,master的第一个反应就是: “That's good. I am considering to put him as a teaching assistant after he move to junior blue belt.You know, he can learn more by teaching others." 据儿子说当TA没有报酬,到时候估计还的老爸倒帖了。
下课后,和儿子一说,小人儿还是挺愿意的。就趁热打铁:”I am a little bit worried about your way to do thing at home at this moment. You know, TA has a lot of responsibility and takes a lot of time. You have to learn how to manage your time and get homework done as soon as possible. If you do not improve, I am not sure you have time to be a TA."
人家连忙说:“I know, I know. You just need to send me here."这孩子是爱听老师话的,希望当TA真能有点帮助呢。
还要四个月才能拿到blue belt。看儿子的身体柔软性和学习动作的进度,还真有点”天才“呢。儿子不是运动员的料,动作协调性并不好,但中国功夫和跆拳道里的好多动作,他作起来似乎并不那么困难。好多他教老爸的动作,老爸要练习好久才能掌握,而他却比较快就上手了。昨天在学跳起来在空中踢腿的动作,他练了几次就有点象模象样了。看样子,还是要挑孩子真喜欢玩的项目。
