Megan Morrison, a graduate student in psychology from Elberfeld, Ind., stretches Monday in a taekwondo class at Black’s Martial Arts Academy in Carbondale. Morrison said she enjoys sparring the most out of all the techniques taught in the class. “It’s a really good workout and it also helps you with practical skills in case if you get attacked,” she said. Black’s Martial Arts Academy has taekwondo classes every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and is taught by Michael Jessup, of Carterville.
