Today. I got JUMPED. in sparing class of course. we were doing 2v1s and of course i was the monkey in the middle. i was going against 2 second dons and i think i did good. but some may say i got WHOOPED. (i'm a bo cho by the way teehee) I am in pain and i need to go take a shower. i did my first mentee session :D. Okay i'm done now.
Today is day 2 of camping and FLynn is with us. We played in the river and found a snake. Then we came back and did our requirements. After that we sat by the fire and hung out.
Wow! Can't believe its already August and almost 1/2 way through the cycle...well, 2-3 more weeks. Got my requirements done...burpies and I are NOT friends, but I'm getting better abd can do more than my pretest. I went to assist tonight in two classes then we t to sparring. I did my first of two 2-on-1 fights tonight. I felt bad because I kept kicking g this one opponent in her bottom. Sorry. I'm short and don't kick as high as others. Off to get a snack, shower, and bed. I have camp tomorrow and I get to open!!! Yay!
Today, I went to work as a counselor at TKD summer camp and got an instant headache from all the yelling. I went to the pool today and had some fun with the kids. When I got back we ate lunch and played games and I told a pirate story. I then went home to rest. Then, I went to back to TKD for a mentor session with Instructor Nate, a leadership credit from helping with line drills, a class assistance credit, and then a sparring class where I got kneed in the thigh but it was an accident so it’s all good. I then came to take a shower and here I am now. Goodnight everyone!
so this morning i woke up and did my requirements.then we packed up the truck and left for boone. so far we have gone into the stream and i busted my lip on a big rock, and submerged myself under the cold stream water. we also went to the camp lounge and chilled. we are about to eat dinner and may go swimming in the deep part of the stream that was waist height. oh and i also played cookie clicker. today was fun. goodbye
Started late today and the day has been going by slowly. Summer went by swiftly this summer as it is the first day of August today. School starts soon for me, but hopefully not too soon.
This was a usual day with requirements and needing to get them done early today...taking a nap soon and heading out to work. Have a good one!
Good afternoon, I just got done with my requirements for today. First my Grandma comes over to visit, then I watched the new Batman series, and last did my requirements. Have a good day.
This was a training day. Practiced Taekwon 1-3, Taeguks, Koryo, and Taebek. Also ran 2 miles in 20 minutes. During the black belt class we practiced staff forms 1-5, short stick forms 1-4, and some kicking combos.
Hello, today I woke up and did my stuff, then once I got back I read my Batman Book and finished it. Goodbye.
My back issues have officially reared their ugly head. I'm taking meds and resting as best as I can. I'm working on essays and such that don't require physical work in the meantime. Knocked out 3 essays so far and I'm going to work with Henry on his as well.
Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a tiring day. I didn't feel the best yesterday, so I decided to keep it easy on my requirements for the day. I only ran 1 mile and did the normal amount stated per the book. I went to sleep early, hoping today I would feel better, but I was wrong. My core is killing me, and I've had the worst headache since yesterday night. I wanted to go to sparring today but doubted it based on my body. I am planning to take a rest and leave it super easy today. Have a wonderful day!
This day I was doing my requirements, yesterday I was glad to get a refresher of 1rst Dan self-defense, It seemed like I don't see it showcased often and was surprised I was still able to know it all this time. After that I read my book and ate an Italian sub sandwich.
Was able to jog 2 miles this evening after class. Hopefully i can do more to get caught up. Might have to do more walking though because that pounding on my back isn't great.
went to the credit union to put some money in. And rushed to class. I did warmups. So i got leadership 2 and 1 credits, did a mentor session so I got a signature, and a black belt class signature. A total of 4 credits ( a record for me) I almost skipped today, but im glad I went and learned some stick forms and practiced some poomsaes.
Hi King Tiger Family. I am in NYC. I don’t feel great but I am trying to complete requirements. I do not want to get behind. Keep it up! Keep encouraging each other. This is the King Tiger way. Keep up the great work. Take care.
So I realized yesterday I haven't spoke to either of my sisters in a while, and one in particular I haven't called in weeks. That's kind of unusual for us not to talk every 1-2 weeks. So the black belt cycle came up in conversation. She tells me "Yeah, I can always tell when you are on the cycle because I don't hear from you until it's over". Ouch. I didn't realize that was a pattern, so I need to do better and be more mindful about calling. The cycle can be very time consuming, and part of the challenge is definitely having that work/life balance with this. Not an easy thing to do when it feels like you are constantly in class, practicing, teaching, learning, sleep deprived, and constantly covered in sweat.
So tomorrow I am going camping with my family and Declans family and we are going to boone for camping. Today I woke up and played vr. Then I did my requirements. I went to taekwondo and helped with warm ups. Then got a mentee in. I took the next class and got some credits. And after we went to the run. I was speeding on the track. Then we went to wendys which was very good. I got a spicy chicken sandwich and made a weird drink combination that actually wasnt bad. And now Im home and about to go to bed. Tomorrow I start my nutrition challenge which is no gluten, which is literally everything. Well, I guess not everything but alot of things. It's gonna be a tough month. Goodnight.
Today I woke up and had my first cross country practice. I got to lead the new runners in a easy run today, which was amazing since I got an opportunity to pass down some of the knowledge I have gained from fellow runners and coaches. I then came home and got ready for work. Work was really good, I enjoyed spending time with some of my close friends. I then went to bible study, got Chik-Fa-La and now I am here.
Today I woke up this morning and ran a mile with my Dad. I came home and finished my exercises. I also worked on some of my 5th grade work and took a nap before going to my baseball tryouts. I worked hard and did a great job at my tryouts.
Today I woke up early in the morning and did some lifting at the gym with my dad, I also knocked out some requirements while I was there so that was good. After that I went home to chill out and play. After that I went to work and we had a good day with all the classes and everything. I got all my needed classes done and saw Jakhye there so it was overall a good day.
I started learning my new skill today. I am teaching myself how to paper quill!! My first attempt here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-HCMcZJlTS/?igsh=MnlpY2loc2w5cTFz
I went to Sam’s Club with my Mom this morning and my lower back was hurting. I could not remember doing anything in particular that would cause that. After a while, I had to do random forward folds in the aisles to get a good stretch in for relief. My mother pretended to not know me….hee hee. After returning home, I was able to get my requirements in and a short nap before heading to the dojang. Class assistance, meeting with my mentor and black belt class completed my day. It was good going over stick and staff forms in BB class. Nighty-night!!
Today was a wonderful Wednesday and I hope tomorrow will be thoughtful Thursday!!! Hope everyone had an amazing day!!! PS Today is National avocado and mutt day!!! ~Magnolia~
Today, I went to my sister's last eye appointment in the morning. Then, I ate lunch and finished all of my requirements. I then went to assist a senior class, had a mentor session, and attended my black belt class, which I lead. After the classes, I ate dinner and ran for 1.5 miles. Have a good night.
Today I went to camp and got some requirements done. Then I came home and did some more requirements. Now I'm doing this requirement.
Today, I basically just went to work. I was with the youngest group and they gave me an instant headache. I then went home to have dinner and play games with my brother. Goodnight.
Today I woke up and took a 2 mile run what’s my dog Wesle. Then I did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I went to the pool and played with my sister. Then I went home and played around in my playroom danced and stuff like that. Then I Did two classes of taekwondo. Now I am done for the day!
When I woke up I had breakfast and then lacrosse camp. I came home, chilled and watched the Olympics. I went to Taekwondo and practiced knife and sticks. At home I was exhausted. I ate pizza and read Titans Curse. I named it tired because I am so tired right now and am ready to go to bed. Have a great day tomorrow.
Today was slightly different. I got up, did a few of my requirements, then had day 1 of a math training. Came home, took a cat nap - well, I tried- completed my physical requirements. I went to the 6:35 class hoping to assist, but there were only two kiddos, so I worked on single sticks forms 1,2 3, and 4. Went to blackbelt class, worked on staff forms 1,2 3,( I need support with 2, 3) and haven't learned 4 yet. Then we did our dingle stick forms 1,2,3,4 and bolo. It's always a good class when the weapons cone out!
Hi today I woke up and ate breakfast and then we went to the pool. I was very mad when we had to leave I wanted to stay but at the pool I did planks the side of the pool I use as a pull up bar and then pull ups and did are poomsaes in the pool we try to guess each other’s poomsaes . We went to this amazing restaurant it is super nice food. Then we went shopping well that’s the end of my day see you tomorrow.
Today is the day we went camping. While we were camping we met some friends. We went in the stream, explored and splashed each other. Then one of them had to leave. Then we came back had dinner then explored more came back then had s'mores. It’s taking a while for the campfire to get going.
Today I woke up went fishing then I went to the pool I did my poomsae and pull-ups then I went home and did my poomsae again, and did three self-defense we did Requirements also, we did our poomsae in the pool and we had to guess it just buy the noise it was so fun
Good afternoon, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. We went to TKD and helped out with classes. After I came back from the dojang, I was exhausted. This morning, I woke up and didn’t feel too great so I decided to keep it relaxed today. Hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow before going to sparring. Have a wonderful day!
Good evening everyone. Hope you had a great day. Today i made a lot of average things but with a longer time limit. i did a bit extra of everything just in case i fall behind or get sick.
Today i did my requirments in the morning like always. We did class at camp and watched a movie. While the movie was on, I went to the other mat and doubled my requirments. I feel good about the cycle. But i do need to lock in because i am still kinda behind. I have black belt class and a mentor session later so i'm boutta eat and go there for class. Okay i'm done now.
Today I went to the pool and did some of my requirements at King Tiger then we played some games until I went home.
So today I got up and a breakfast played with my brothers a little bit and later I went to my dragon club at my library and then I went to the 6:45 class and then went to weapons and that's about it.
Good afternoon, today I just got braces, now I'm sore and have a class today. Have a good day
I feel back on track today. Now I've got to catch up on some of my requirements I didn't get to while I was sick. It's a little overwhelming, but i know I can get through this. I'm definitely sore and
Today I did my requirements at the gym and after we went to Target to grab some new clothes for school. And after we went to the library to pick up Jack's books. I'm working today and I'm going to be trying to be happy. Anyway, see you guys later!
Hello everybody, today I woke up and had breakfast. It took me a while to get out of bed because I was tired, but I ate breakfast and went to the gym. I ran, I exercised and went to Target, when we were there we got more clothes. Then we headed to the library to get my Batman comics and then we went home. B' Bye.
small work out in the morning today, planning to spend the rest of the day packing for my trip to new york and having fun.
Struggling to find time. I'm behind on several of the requirements just due to time constraints and a sore lower back. I did do my first mentor session with my mentee.
Worked out in intervals today, completed requirements. Spent most of the day with the fam.
I hope everyone is doing well. Stay positive through this journey. Have a good night!
Today I worked up on pull-up bars before heading to class during that time I did a mentee session with someone, did a class assistance and got mentored for my self-defenses and poomsaes. I feel like I am starting to understand my new self-defense as I keep going.
Woke up right on time to help out with the 6:20 class and take the advanced class. Did my physical requirements and dried off after class. Did my German and school work and went to sleep.
So I'm just going to say that I have a hard time coming up with titles to these posts. Sometimes the title is obvious, days like today not so much. Right before we left the dojang after PMAA the skies lit up, the wind started blowing, and the rains fell like Noah was outside furiously building a boat. I drove well under the speed limit with the hazards on, as did pretty much everyone else on the road. Got home safely, made dinner, and trying to keep my eyes open to finish this and get ready for bed. Today was filled with working in the garden some and harvesting the shallots. Unfortunately two watermelons had blossom end rot, two cantaloupes have split, and the tomatoes are a split, drippy.mess because of all the rain. On a positive note, the cucumbers are doing quite well for themselves and made a delicious side...
Just a normal day on the cycle for me, nothing noteworthy happened. Completed my requirements as usual, then came my piano lesson. I would like to believe that I made good progress today.
Today was a good day for requirements. Gabe was off work today and, unfortunately, most of her plans got cancelled. As a result, we were able to knock out all our physical requirements for the day before lunch. And then she made an amazing lunch out of a bunch of different leftovers. After I finished up with work for the day, we packed up all our stuff and headed down to the dojang. We assisted with class, then took class, and then had our PMAA class. We're testing for our next rank next week instead of the week after so it's going to be very chaotic trying to get everything down during the Cycle. I really need to try to work ahead a little bit on physical requirements - my shoulders and back and arms need a day of rest sooner than October. I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
So today i woke up and did my requirements early. Then i just chilled and played a lot of vr today. but i didnt go to taekwondo because my parents werent home. then i mowed the lawn but it kept turning off so i got help from my dad. then i ate dinner and worked on one of my essays and i am now doing my journal. it was a good day today.
I went to camp and helped with class. I went to my band then did my exercise watched Some Olympics. Good night
Today Me and my brother both had basketball practice Which was super lucky because I got to do a lot of requirements at the track and workout playground then I had practice
Today I got up in the morning to get an adjustment from a place called True Health center. It was very good and we even stayed for a little bit to watch the Olympics which they were playing there. After that I got home and did a bunch of requirements and kind of just chilled for the rest of the day. I played with my airsoft gun and that was a lot of fun and thats it.
Good evening. Today, I completed my requirements after lunch. Then, I went to assist a senior tiger class, in which I lead the ground warmups. After assisting the class, I ate dinner and went to bed. I will see you in tomorrow's black belt class.
Today I woke up and did my requirements for teakwondo. then I did my chores. Then I did more of my requirements for taekwondo. Then I went through my dads Star Wars cards. But he doesn’t have any good ones. After that I played a bird game. Then I watched the movie. Now I’m done for the day.
Tomorrow is the day we go camping. We will pack the car in the morning. I will work on my requirements while there. I will keep my book updated in case I have Internet connection issues at the campground. If I miss my online documentation it’s because I cannot connect to the internet. I will update my online requirements when I get back.
Hi today, I woke up and I had to get ready for breakfast. It was At Hilton head diner I got Oreo pancakes! We went to the beach after breakfast I did boogie boarding and swimming under the waves. It was really fun! We got back home And I did some requirements. I did sit ups and push-ups and Burpee. My dad made or I mean, cook Rock Seabass And another fish I can’t remember the name of. I ate them I love that bass Then I played a board game with Caleb and that was my day. Goodbye see you tomorrow!
Today I woke up, ate breakfast and then we went to the beach. I built a Sandcastle village then for dinner we went to Hudson’s then we came Home then l did push up and the other stuff.
Good afternoon, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. I wasn't able to go to Tae Kwon Do yesterday since I had a few more things to edit on my final exam. After finishing my exam, me and my parents went shopping and got a few things. I was able to finish my requirements before my brother came home from class. I can officially say I have finished my civics course!! I am very happy with the work I put in and super excited since today was my actual first day of summer. Today, we headed over to TKD, helped out with summer camp for a bit, and then helped out with the classes. The classes went well, and I got leadership credits and a mentee session. I also finished my requirements for the day and did some during class with the kids as well. Have a wonderful day!
Today I went to camp and went to a place called quest and we got learn about reptiles and amphibians then I took my classes and then I went home and did my requirements.
Today I did one of my 2 no tech days. I found it quite productive not having any distractions. I was able to work on my new skill, some of my book essay, and 2 day's worth of requirments (-kicks). Overall a very productive day
It's already been a crazy week at work. I'm still keeping up with my requirements. I've been trying to get everything done before work because I seem to be working through all breaks lately. Ice cream is but a distant memory at this point. I wonder if I'll even like it in 10 weeks.
Today I got up, did my requirements....I am getting better at burpies. I can get 15 in 2 minutes, as compared to my 6 at pretest. I also did my situps, and can get about 20ish in 2 minutes. Plank seems to be the easiest thing for me. Pull ups for me may not happen, however, I work daily with my resistant band to build up my muscles. I wish I had someone to do my stuff with. It would be nice to practice my self defense with someone Aldo going through the cycle....or even the requirements to push me or cheer me on. For those of you who have parents, guardians, siblings, spouses, ect taking this journey with you, be thankful, be happy, and appreciate it.....because it's a lonely journey when you do everything alone daily.
Today i was at camp but i left a little early to get some pull ups in because we don't have a pull up bar at our school. I did triple my pull ups and then did some jump roping. I did a double under :D. But it was with a speed rope. This black belt cycle has been fun. Mostly because i have some friends that like doing physical stuff. (i don't know why lol.) Okay i'm done now.
Today I slept in, that felt good to do but I did my exercises and ran my miles. Then, I went to go be a babysitter for the first time. I say that it went well and I did good with it. Afterwards I got payed $30 and went home. I came into my house to see that my brothers were playing games and I am going to go to TKD in a little while. Bye Everybody.
Good afternoon, hope everyone is doing well, first my friend came over and we played video games, then I did my requirements for the day, and last I went to my other friends house and fished. My sister started to play with the hook and hooked my finger. Overall a great day. Bye
Today I woke up and ran my mile with my Dad then I went back home and did all of my exercises. I did some of my 5th grade work which I am getting better at. Then practiced my poomases and self defenses. Last, I can't wait for tomorrow to do more and I will keep pushing through the cycle and improving in all exercises.
Today I did my requirements just as everyone should, and I finished making my Dungeons and Dragons campaign last night I think it's going to be very fun. Anyway, not much planned for today, but I am going to get some more class assistance and leadership credit today. See you guys later.
Today I woke up and then went down stairs and then fell back asleep. Then I did my requirements for teakwondo. Then I went to teakwondo and did three classes. Now I’m done for the day.
Got an early start on my day today and headed out for a run. When I got home, I cleaned out my room and waited for my cousins to arrive in the evening.
Slow start today, began with some official work that I’d left hanging, and once that was done I slowly worked up a sweat. Completed my requirements late in the evening.
Today was a little bit lazy, but that didn’t stop me from doing my planned requirements. I skipped going to the dojang to help out with class today, I figured I could just make it up another time. At the end of the day, I’m not in the best shape but I should be good to go tomorrow.
Got up 7:30 to do my laundry and physical requirements and rolls and falls. Finished about 10:30. Got home took a nap until about 2. Did school prep work until about 4:30. Practiced forms and then rushed to help with the 6:20 class and take color belt class. Went home played games and did my German for the day before bed
Pretty good day today. Did black belt class and some mentoring with Master Foster.
I feel pretty good overall and I will leave it at that. Night-night!!
I know, I know, it's senior tigers/wang ho class, but I personally prefer to it as color belt class. The irony is that pretty much the two front lines are bochos and higher, which I find particularly awesome. When we first started TKD pretty much no black belts came to the Monday evening class save one or two. I remember being towards the back of the class watching the higher belts go through their forms and thinking "How do they remember all that?!?". Well, now I know-lots of time dedicated to practicing, watching, learning, and asking questions. I think of this class as my original class because it's the one I started in, so it's near and dear to me. At one point the class had dwindled to only a handful of us, and there was concern that the class may not have enough people to continue. Thankfully it has grown,...
This is, I believe, our first late night of the Cycle. I had my allergy shots this morning and had to take Samuel to an appointment this afternoon so my day and my schedule got scrambled. As a result, we're doing physical requirements and self defenses at 10:30pm. And it doesn't help that my arm is really itchy from the allergy shot. I really need to start working ahead so I can take a day off - at least from physical requirements. I can tell I'm getting stronger, albeit slowly, but my I can't do more than a minute of anything for the day before that set of muscles starts fussing at me. I worked with my mentee today as well. He looks like he's already ready for next week's color belt testing; I'm really looking forward to working with him on his next belt because he's so eager to learn. I believe...
So today I woke up and did a few of my requirements. Then I just chilled at the house watching tv before we went to pick up Declan for taekwondo and got all my credits and mentee session in and then went to run. I was unfortunately behind somehow on the time for the run, but it felt like it was faster then my other runs. I don't know. Whatever it was a solid day overall.
Feeling better today, I have not been that sick in a long time. Now to get back on track. Walked the dog and did some of my daily requirements. Hoping to get back to class Wednesday. Lots to catch back up on.
Today I woke up and had an orthodontist appointment, where I got off my attachments, which was very exciting. I then went for a easy run in the pouring rain. I finished my morning with a therapy session, which was great. Got to work through a few interpersonal skills. I then went to work, where I learned a little bit of how to solve a Rubik's Cube. Afterwards went to the 2nd Dan and higher class. I followed that by coming home, eating, and now I am here.
Today, I finished all of my requirements before assisting the senior tiger class. I then did my mentee and mentor session before my black belt class, in which I lead the warmups. After the class, I ate dinner and ran for 1 mile. Have a good night.
I woke up early to get my req done before we head to the beach. We spent most of the day there. Something about swimming wears me out, more than most things. I We’re ending the night with movies.
Today I woke up late and I spent the whole day on tae kwon do. I started catching up on stuff at home today and working on my preps. Later in the afternoon I went and got a class assistance credit, leadership credit, a mentor session with Nate, and I took a class. I then got a black belt class for weekdays from this cool seconds and higher class. I got drove home by the two coolest people (Master Marcus and Natasya) and then I had my dinner. Goodnight everyone.
Today I went to the gym early in the morning, and we did some lifting for a bit. I always enjoy lifting and love improving on certain movements. After that it was raining for a good bit, so I just hung out at the house for a bit doing some requirements. Then I headed off for work where we good classes and just had a fun class at the end of the day. I went home had a delicious dinner that my mom had made called taco rice, very good and that was our day.
I hope everyone had a marvelous Monday and is excited for a terrific Tuesday!!! today I woke up and hung out with my puppy and my family! After lunch, my friends got home from camp so I went to play with them! A few hours later I came home and got ready for taekwondo. When I got there, I used to behind my friend and didn’t notice. So when he turned around, he was frightened! I held out with the 5:15 and then I got to take six! When I got home, I ate dinner and then ran around outside with my puppy! We started a game and are going to continue it tomorrow. Hope everyone had a marvelous Monday good night!!! P.S. Today is National lasagna and lipstick day!!! ~Magnolia~
I went to camp and got a class in then did some guitar then the refrigerator broke after we were all dealing with that I did my exercise. We all watched some Olympics. Good night
Hey everyone. Today has been cloudy and pouring a lot outside. Like yesterday, I ran my treadmill run and did each requirement. I am getting better bit by bit on my run.
My nutrition challenge is coming to an end. To be honest, I have had moments where I ask for ice cream. But I am quickly reminded about the nutrition challenge. During this challenge I found out that fruit is a good substitute for ice cream.
Today i went to camp because its a monday as usual. I finally got my Mentee (hoorrrayyyyyy) I did my requirments and Ms. Lisa told me i can help out in her classes on saturdays for my leadership. I had PMAA and it sucks that doesn't count for anything. Not really looking forward to sparring but i have to do it. Black belt class i can do thats fun in my opinion. Okay i'm done now.
Today I went to Lacrosse camp. It was pouring rain, but we had camp in the rain. We worked on stick skills, shooting and face-offs. I went to Taekwondo and had a mentor session. I worked on sticks with Logan. When I got home we played family Mario Cart.
Today I woke up on A fishing trip.Then We went to eat then I went to the pool I did kicks in the pool and sit up. Guess what? I’m in Hilton head
Today I went to king tiger and watched a movie then I did my requirements there and I helped in 5:15 class and took the 6:00 and then I grandma picked me up.
Woke up this morning to the ground being wet from rain....so much for getting a few things accomplished before heading off to camp. I managed to get mentee session in today. We worked on our hands ( need tighter fists) and stronger arms ( not lazy arms). We also borrowed a fellow camper to work on self-defense numbers 1-3. 'A' is making progress on both her poomsae and self-defense. Off to complete my physical requirements.
Today I woke up an I ran my mile in the rain which was really nice.Then did some of my exercises and did some of my pommases and self defenses. Last I am pushing through the cycle and I can’t wait for tomorrow.
Today I woke up and we had to get on a fishing boat I caught a rock Sea bass.I love fishing! After we go off the fishing boat we went to tios for lunch. Now we’re getting ready for the pool and finishing requirements. See you tomorrow!
I did some requirements before heading to my brothers basketball practice but the rec center had volleyball tryouts so no practice so we came home and I'm about to do some requirements after I finish this journal.
Good afternoon everyone. Hope your having a good day. Lots of progress made! im getting alot less tired from workouts and stuff. And im catching up on some stuff too!
Today was kind of painful. The workouts were hard, the Chiropractor hurt, but in the end we got food from Costco so that is good. I am not going to write much because I don't have much to write about so goodbye.
