My Master's husband is the TKD coach at a sports middle and high school just out of Mokpo.These kids train allllll day and find time for school. They have devoted their lives to the sport and will hopefully compete for their country one day.
The schooling is paid for as many of the kids cannot afford to go to school otherwise. Hence the reason to train so much, to get better, to keep having your education paid for.
A few Saturday's ago, we drove out to their school to train with them. They have come to our club in Mokpo a few times to train with us so now it was our turn. 
Their gym is a full size gym with padded flooring on top and 2 sparring rings.
It was great. We trained for a little over and hour which is nothing to these kids but something for us slow waygooks. These kids are AMAZING. So fast and so strong.
We took lots of pictures and had a great time.
We took a tour of their school and they were so excited that we came to see them.
Then we ate lots of pizza.
It was a good day!
There are some better pics on my facebook account.
