In the never-sleeping, always bustling, potato-loving state of Idaho, there's a group of kids unlike any other. We call them the "Hapkido Heroes." With the majestic snow-dusted Rocky Mountains on one side and the lush green vastness of the Snake River Plain on the other, these kids have a backdrop as epic as their daily adventures! The "Hapkido Heroes" are a mix of potato sprouts, wannabe superheroes, and the occasional potato-loving space alien (hello, Spudnik!). Each one of them has a unique story, a quirky sense of humor, and an unquenchable thirst for action. They participate in Hapkido, a dynamic Korean martial art that combines powerful kicks, sharp strikes, and smooth throws. Their activities are filled with laughter, camaraderie, and sometimes a flying potato or two. Leading the pack is Billy "Spud Puncher" Jones, the youngest black belt in the state, who can disarm an opponent with his blindingly fast potato-peeling skills. He is a jovial joker, always ready with a potato pun, a goofy grin, and an unstoppable spinning kick. Then there's Jenny "Tater Tot" Thompson, a fierce defender of Idaho's potato honor, who can knock an apple out of a tree with a single Hapkido side-kick. She's as quick with her feet, as she is with her potato-based trivia. Despite their differences, when it comes down to it, they're all just Idaho kids. They love their state, their friends, and their Hapkido. They have fun, they learn discipline, and they eat a lot of potatoes. In Idaho, they're not just growing potatoes, they're growing Hapkido Heroes!
