Japoy and Janice Lizardo raise their kids the taekwondo way

FOR more than half their lives, former Philippine team flag-bearer Japoy Lizardo and wife, world champion Janice Lagman, lived under the discipline of taekwondo.

They even fell in love through the sport.

“Since we were as young as 11 and 13, nagta-taekwondo na talaga kami, joining the national team. Doon kasi, one family talaga, kaya magkakakilala rin kayo. So naging friends kami, matagal na friendship tapos nung pa-end na ang career namin pareho, dun kami nagkaroon ng spark,” Japoy told SPIN Life.

Raised together in the martial arts, the couple are now applying the lifelong lessons they've picked up from taekwondo to raising their own family.

“Kami na ang coaches ngayon, at itong family ang team namin,” he said.

Japoy and Janice now nurture their two sons, three-year-old Jace and seven-month-old Jevi.
