I went to the demo at Freedom Park and the black belt class after today. I found the class very interesting because I have never done TKD with one arm before.
Today I went to the class before black belt class and I got leadership credit. I was helping a high blue belt with his form and self defense. It feels good to help somebody with something I know. Afterwards in the black belt class we got to practice Hapkido 1-20, short stick and bolo.
Today when I went to black belt class it was interesting to have master Shin teach class especially when we did the self defense with our eyes closed. I like it when there are different people teaching because they each have their own styles of teaching
Today my little brother went on a 3-day field trip to Barrier Island so I can have 3 or 2 1/2 days annoying little brother free! I got a recommendation letter from one of my teachers yesterday. I should be getting another one from another teacher real soon.

I went to three classes today and I just got home. I am very tired and I want to go to bed. The PMAA class was pretty good and Instructor Randle is a good partner during the class. During the black belt class I'm glad we went over Hapkido because I needed the practice.
Today I went to the park with Lauren and Pierce and we did a lot of our requirements. I think its good to do the requirements with other people because they can sort of get you to keep going.
Black Belt class today good. We worked on rolls and attack and defend forms. I'm glad we got to practice that, because we don't get to do those when there is no cycle.

Yesterday I was really tired after I got home at ten from the class in Mint Hill, black belt class, and PMAA class and I usually go to bed a lot earlier than that.
Today I took three whole classes and now that I'm done today I am really, really tired. In the PMA class we worked on a bunch of knife drills and techniques and I got the hang of it pretty quick.
I was glad it was a holiday! I got to spend time with my dad hunting for doves. It was my first time. We only got two doves and I got a zillion bug bites. We will need to put on bug spray next time. Yesterday we spend the day with some family friends who drove down from Greensboro. Saturday my dad took me to the range to do skeet shooting to practice for the dove hunting. It was great to spend time with my family and take a break from the requirements. I needed it!
All this week I went to school and I've been tired because when I get home I have to get all my requirements done and after that go to class but I think that I can adjust to it

I had to hurry after sparring class which ended at 7 to make it to North Charlotte at 7:30 from Mint Hill. I got a mentor session and leadership credits also.
I finished my white belt essay today. Yesterday Master Moon taught us the correct pronunciation of some of the terms in kwonsool and how to say black belt in Korean. It sounds like commontee. Yesterday I was glad to see my mentee's poomsae had improved since we have been working on it.
Today I started my requirements earlier in the morning and was finished before lunch. I'm glad I had a little head start with my requirements, since I did not do any yesterday. I was in Greensboro since Saturday afternoon and got home 11 pm last night. We went river tubing for the first time and it was a lot of fun. I also started my white belt essay. I looked over my study guides and see that I need to brush up om my Korean terms.
