Journal 8

Today was a kind of busy day. But there was some problems that occurred. So, the day started with me waking up and getting ready to help with Family Class and Little Tigers at the Hartle's school. Then we left for Master Evins' Black Belt Class. It was the last one for the year 2018. But, my dad left his phone at the Hartle's school. But if we went back we would have bin late for Black Belt Class. So, we said we would keep on driving. Later, Black Belt Class was tiring. We did lots of drills and poomsaes. After class we got are books sighed. Then Master Marccus gave us his key so we could get my dad's phone. We successfully got it and went home.

Master Cann/Master Woo Seminar and Junior Instructor Camp

I added the extra credit items to today's entry on the system for both the Master Cann/Master Woo Seminar and Junior Instructor Camp. At Master Cann/Master Woo's Seminar for Poomsaes, I learned how to stretch for different kicks, and I learned a lot of different changes to the higher ranking poomsaes. I learned how to do my stances properly. At Master Cann/Master Woo's Seminar for Sparring, I learned a bunch of new combinations. It was great to get the expertise from them, and see how their students are learning cool stuff. I came out with knowing stuff that I didn't think that existed. It was a great day, but exhausting. At Junior Instructor's camp, we started with kicks and team bonding exercises. Then we started to do basics, like stances and kicks, and hand positions. Then we mediated for 3 minutes. Then we watched a movie and it was very late, so I did not...

Kukkiwon Cup Journal

We added the credits for Kukkiwon to Thursday's tracking. We got to Greenville the day before Kukkiwon Cup and stayed at a hotel. We got up early, had breakfast and got there early. I stretched and practiced some Poomsaes and Breaking. When it was time to do Poomsaes I got bronze but the other competitors were better than I was. In breaking, I got first. In sparring, I also got gold, and I got first in my group. This made me able to compete in the Grand Competition. In the competition, I competed against a group of kids that were much more experienced and I lost. However, it was an awesome experience, and I was happy to compete. Cannot wait for the next one.

Journal Day 9

Did not have school today. Had a normal morning. Later did some exercises. I started prototyping a bunch of custom Nerf darts. Some failed but some succeeded. To be a good dart, it has to go at least across the room, and have to hit a two foot by two foot square target. Some of the ones that succeeded were the longer double sized darts. We are dog sitting Thea (another German Sheppard) until Monday since her owners are away. Thea was our foster dog and my old teacher (Mrs. Primm) took her. Paddy (our German Sheppard) and Thea really get along. We went to Black Belt class and came home. We ate dinner and now I am writing this. We need to finish some exercises and then off to bed.
