I need to extend the office hours today beyond 6 pm , that too on Friday. But tomorrow morning I don't have Black Belt class, so can relax a little late today. Finally a weekend , hopefully will get some rest and good practice of Poomsaes.

Yesterday was another busy weekday . But I managed some time to assist one TKD class before regular Sparring class. Got some practice for 1:1 sparring. Yet to find one Mentee. Muthu didn't responded yet , its 2 weeks now. Also need to get some leadership credits. I was too tired to write the journal.

King Tiger Black Belt website was down for few days, that's why not able to write the journals. Completing the pending journals today , since the website is up now. Today was like any other busy weekdays, daily routines and office work. I thought I can assist one TKD class today, but was not able to finish office on time. So directly went for TKD Black Belt class. Today I am little bit disappointed , as not able to perform Korean Poomsae correctly. Need to practice this more.

Since today was Friday, we got very little homework to do and this weekend there are no black belt classes so I have to practice at home. Other than that I have no plans.

Today's black belt class was awesome! We did many of my favorite kicks such as, reverse tornado and types of roundhouse kicks. For my skill I am learning how to bake cookies, my sister helped me out the 1st time I did it and it was a mess... Anyways the next time I attempt it I will try to do it without help.

Today after school, I had to do homework.  After I did my homework I ran a mile on the track, it was drizzling outside and the track was wet so water kept getting in my shoes.  After I ran I did some exercises, I got a new high "count" on my push ups, sit ups, and burpees.  I also worked on staff and stick form 1.  I was exhausted after I did that. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Today I had a day off, so I spent the day relaxing and working on my taekwondo things. My new semester starts tomorrow and I start math which should be interesting.

Testing for our students is next Thursday so our main goal is preparing them for it. Today our main focus was their curriculum and making sure that they were ready. It was a mix of some students doing well and others not. I hope that most of them will test and perform well at testing.

Today my mentor helped me with my pull ups, if I keep up with that I think I could do full pull ups by myself!
