Spring 2026 Black Belt Cycle

Candidate Journals

King Tiger Tae Kwon Do Black Belt candidates blog daily about their journey: their thoughts and feelings, their struggles and successes; their pain and their encouragement. Follow along on their journey; words of encouragement are always welcome!

Today was the first day of vacation. The reason I didn't journal last night was because it was late we had dinner and I never got around to it. Today I was playing with my cousins in the ocean on boogie boards and waves. We are about to go eat dinner so I don't forget to journal so till tomorrow hopefully bye.
