A Goodreads user asked Joe Krakovsky:

What martial arts program did you run?

Joe Krakovsky We taught Tae Kwon Do through a park district. At a time when other studios had trouble keeping their doors open we had waiting lists to get in our class. I could relate to the kids and learned 40 names before class started. My wife showed them that women could be good at it too. Our young son was so talented that they had him to look up to. Our class helper was old school and was invaluable to us.
In all the years we taught, only my wife and I ever got hurt in class. A woman who lacked control kicked my wife and fractured her ribs. When we went to the hospital, they thought I did it!
