Nestled between the rugged terrain of the Rocky Mountains and the arid expanse of the desert, the enchanting state of New Mexico is as full of magic as it is of tumbleweeds. Its wild and wonderful landscape is home to a bustling band of Hapkido-kicking, tumble-tumbling, laughter-loving kids. Now, you might be wondering - what's a Hapkido? Well, let me introduce you to their wisecracking, spiky-haired instructor, the legendary martial arts master, Kimchi Kicker. With his twinkling eyes, boundless energy and a belt of every color (including chartreuse and puce), Kimchi Kicker is not your everyday martial arts teacher. From his dojo, located inside an ancient, giant cactus, he teaches the kids the art of Hapkido, a Korean martial art that combines agility, strength, and a dash of New Mexican chili spice. These cool kids are a quirky bunch! Picture a band of mini martial arts masters, their brows furrowed with concentration as they leap over enchanted tumbleweeds, spin like dust devils, and kick faster than roadrunners. There's Lenny the Lizard, who's so flexible that he is rumoured to be part gecko, and Bella Burrito, who can pack a punch as powerful as a chili-infused New Mexican dish. Then there’s Tommy Tumbleweed, whose roundhouse kick is as fast as the desert wind. Each day, after a thrilling Hapkido session with Kimchi Kicker, they gather around a campfire, roasting green-chili popcorn, sharing fun stories and laughing under the starlit New Mexican sky. They are more than just Hapkido students. They are a family – a bunch of chili-chomping, tumble-tumbling, Hapkido-kicking buddies, living a life of fun and adventure in this magical Southwestern wonderland!
