Instruuhhhhhctor's camp

Hello fellow cyclers! Today was a wonderful day and the day after instructor's camp. I wasn't there because, as you probably read in one of my previous journals, I went to junior instructors camp this year. But my dad was there all weekend and I would have enjoyed it if I was there. I had thousands of questions for him like "what classes did you do?" and "what is Grand Master Lee's do jang like?". I wonder why we wonder. Such a simple question we ponder, which no man has yet to solve. Oops, I went British there for a sec. My bad. Anyway, besides wondering about instructor's camp, my weekend was cool. I watched Mary Poppins (20 minutes of it anyway) finished my school project, completed requirements, worked on my kwans essay and played gaga ball on a trampoline among other things. This morning I went to poomsae class and...

On the road again

I worked on requirements this morning and took a nice long drive back to Charlotte from Greenville.  My dog greeted me with a giant hop twist dance and insisted on going for a two-mile walk.   I attended my mom's Sunday School group call, our family group chat and later attended a Zoom surprise birthday party.  I ate dinner and practiced more Poomsae's and Self-defense.

Journal for Sunday

Hello King Tiger! Today was an easy day with minimum work. I woke a bit late today(9:30) and I finished some school homework. Then, I left to a different school which lasted about 2 hours. After that, I did some requirements and watched a movie. Halfway through the movie, I remembered that I had a tutoring class which lasted about an hour. After that, I finished the movie and I am going to go to sleep. Hope everyone has a good night's sleep!

Today I woke up and was most tired person ever because I went to instructor camp yesterday. There was a four hour bus ride to camp, then once we got there, we put on our uniforms. The first half, we did four stations that had different workouts at each one. Each station had either balancing, learning how to punch and kick hard, how to tie belts blindfolded, and footwork exercises.  The second half we learned how to teach different kinds of classes and people. Like family classes, senior classes, teenagers, and small children. Then after that, we did our candle ceremony and that ended camp. We got back on the bus and headed home.  After I got home, I went to sleep which only lasted a bit since it was so late after we got home.  That's why I was so tired when I woke up this morning.  After I woke...

Instructors Camp 2024

This years instructors camp was the best yet. This was my 5th instructors camp and the first time I have ever been to the Greenville N.C. school. These are some personal highlights from the day: First off, learning about the history of King Tiger and the fact that Grandmaster Jung was gifted a building to start a Tae Kwon Do Dojang by Samsung, blew my mind. I researched further and around the time Grandmaster Jung was gifted the building was around the time Samsung began to blow up.  My next highlight was working through the self-defense stuff. I always enjoy learning how to apply moves from Poomsaes into self-defense. I also had two amazing partners: Chaz and Ryan.  After that, the 4 classes on speed, power, balance, and team work. Power was definitely my favorite; learning about how stances and even how your hips are turned can generate an exponentially greater...

Hi King Tiger Family. Yesterday was Instructor's Camp in Greenville NC at Grandmaster Lee's school. It was an incredible experience and I was so happy we went. Nate and I both agreed it was one of the best Instructor's camp we have attended. There was so much great new knowledge gained yesterday. Great day. I am so very grateful for all the people who made it happen. Today was also very good. Church was also great. A tremendous message from our Pastor. Then onto lunch, requirements, and some house stuff. Getting ready for tomorrow. Have a great evening. Take care.

3/2 & 3/3

Hi all! Tiring but great weekend! The trip to Greenville, NC was rainy and long but I was lucky to be hitching a ride with my Taekwondo friend, Rob. And before I even got to the hotel, more taekwondo friends, Jen & Courtney, had checked me in to my hotel room and showed me where to go. Cheers to taekwondo family making stressful trips so much easier and fun! Instructors Camp was insightful and sometimes intense. My favorite part was breaking into smaller groups to learn about how to instruct different age groups. I think we got home around midnight on Saturday night/ Sunday morning. I look forward to next year. I knocked out some bb requirements this morning and had a mentor session. A nice afternoon with a walk and games with Joe & Jovi. Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

I woke up to mom screaming "EEEWWW there is a roach in the shower!!!!!" So she called the front desk and sent a man that I think was flirting with my mom so instead of doing his job he was just talking to her. After all that mess we went down to eat breakfast I had cereal and that was the first time I've had cereal in two years and then my stomach started to hurt. After breakfast we went to Jr instructors camp and it was really fun. I made a lot of friends there and got a selfie with Grand Master Lee.

Today I ran four miles outside in the freezing cold while it was raining outside. I first ran all the way around Hartsell Rd then I went past my house to go to Reeds gold mine. While I was running I was so cold that my skin was turning a light purple so I sprinted back home and then it turned red. After the run me and my mom had to leave the house to go to Jr instructors camp. It took us four hours to get there.

3/3 - #35

Good morning!! I wasn’t feeling well on Thursday and immediately knocked put after camp yesterday haha Camp was very fun!! I loved working with other instructors in training from various dojangs, and I made some nee friends that I’ll hopefully see next year!  One big takeaway was learning from the small group class that repetition is not the same as monotony. While it is important to do a poomsae, or self defense, or even a kick, over and over again with students, it doesn’t have to be the exact same all the time. For example, you can teach a poomsae using animals! You ask students for their favorite animal, maybe they’ll say a bunny, and then do the poomsae with the characteristic of a bunny, like hopping after every step.  I’m excited to go back next year!

Instructors Camp

I enjoyed spending time with the King Tiger family at the Instructors Camp.  This year we were trained on how to teach the different populations at our schools.  We also broke out into groups and learned the secret to knocking over a free standing kicking bag, tested our endurance, leadership, sparring, teamwork and a whole lot more.  If you didn't attend this year, you definitely don't want to miss the next camp.

Instructors Camps

Finished with the weekend of instructor camps. It was a great experience as always. I’m always an honor and impress with how large king tiger is, and this camp was only for 13+ instructors. I am truly happy to be part of the king tiger community. And I’m glad excited to see all the younger instructors after me grown and share with there peers and younger students.

Journal for Saturday

Hello King Tiger! Today, I planned to wake up early and do empathy training to finish my essay, but, turn out I can't because I woke up at 8:30 in the morning  and if I do at least 12 hours being mute, I have to stay mute until 8:30 at night and I have a meeting to join at 7:30. But, since I have no school on Monday and Tuesday(Long weekend, let's go!!!!) I will do my empathy training on Monday. After I woke up, I started doing my requirements, and after that I ate breakfast, and after this journal, I am going to do some homework. Hope everyone who is going to Instructor's camp has a fun day

Hello king tiger family. Even though I completed my 50 journals I wanted to stop by and say hi to everyone. This has been a good week for me. Yesterday we had had our Black History event at school and I was John Lewis for our wax museum. There were so many people and I got a little nervous at first. After the museum there was a performance from other classes and our step team performed. Everyone did a good job. Today I took a science and ELA test but only got my grade for the science test...a 95. I was happy about that. After school I came home and worked on my requirements for over an hour. I had to make up for yesterday since I did not have a chance to do anything other than run. It was hard and I was tired after but I got it done....

In social studies we learned about war propaganda. in social studies we finished up work. When i got home i did my requirements and relaxed it rained all day today which was sad.

Yesterday I wasn’t feeling very well, so I went to sleep the moment I got home. I also didn’t go to school today, as I still didn’t feel well and my school cancelled the zoo trip. Today would have basically been a free for all day, so it was better for me to stay home!!  I’m very excited for Instructor’s Camp tomorrow, and I’m excited to learn anything new! I hope we get to do things outside tomorrow, because I remember not being able to do that last year!

Journal for Friday

Hello King Tiger! Hope everyone had a nice Friday. I couldn't do my journals yesterday because I was tired after playing tennis matches at a different school. Today was a sluggish day for me today because of the rain and my whole school stank when it was raining. I almost fell asleep in math class and after school, I went to black belt class, which was a bit weird since there was no Master Natasya, Master Marcus, and no Master Chelley today. I am going to finish my homework for math today after this journal. Hope everyone who joined instructor camp has a great day tomorrow.

Weekend Vibes

Written my journal now rather than later. Im making cereal ice coffee latte. I've been following a barista on youtube and she suggest using the milk from your cereal for an ice latte, to give it a sweeter, or special taste. I'm using cinnamon toast crunch and letting it my milk marinate. I don't know if marinate is the right word, but it feels rights. On Sunday I plan to make a matcha tea with honey drizzle in. Very simple, but I haven't done it yet. I packed a bag for instructors camp this weekend. I am very excited, I haven't gone since I started school. I'm also excited it back in Greenville. I am ready to train my butt off.  I'm a bit worried about the black belt cycle. I have not been as active the past few weeks due to my work schedule. I haven't been able to got...

I woke up and got ready for school.  We walked to school again, it was MUCH colder this morning than yesterday. 🥶 Yesterday I wore shorts and a t-shirt today it was back to long pants long sleeves and a big coat.  At school I did my normal blocks and specials.  Then I went to KT and did my black belt stuff and worked on 2 more essays (my living and non living)!  Tonight was sparring class, Brien told mom he wasn't going to be able to come and then he showed up!! After sparring we went to La Unica for dinner, Anthony ordered  a beef tongue taco...and we all tried it I didn't think it was to bad but mom and Brien hated it! Then we went home and showered and went to bed.

My loaf of bread

Today I'm going to write about my dog, Ozzy. He's very cute but (sighs) difficult. He's cute in the way that he'll walk up to you and make a cute face. Or just straight up lick your face. But sometimes he jumps out of nowhere and just straight up tackles me. I try hard not to use red belt self-defense number one. Tricks are another cool size of Ozzy. He can sit, he can lay down and he can even do a jump turning side kick! You might be thinking, "no he can't", but if you don't believe me you can ask Master Natashya or Master Marcus. They both witnessed it and they will be my eye witness. Finally, you're probably wondering why I titled this journal my loaf of bread. It's because when Ozzy is laying down he sometimes looks like a loaf of bread! Well, there's no class tomorrow or...

While listening to a podcast/video I heard the phrase ...

To master something requires a critical eye of your own work. Critical doesn't mean to point out just the wrong or negative things, but to look at everything, the big things and the little things. Being realistic, but also challenging yourself to be better.

Happy leap day! And my final Journal # 50. So today I woke up and got ready for the science benchmark. I did well on it and tomorrow we are going to have some rewards since we were doing well in class.. After school I walked 2 miles with my mom and did some band exercises and rolls and falls. Then I got prepared for sparring class. I did pretty well until I ended up hurting my foot on the last one. Now I’m back at home relaxing and having some snacks.

Journal for Wednesday

  Hello King Tiger! Today was weird day because I had to stay in Advisory(aka Homeroom) for the WHOLE DAY because all the juniors were taking the ACT and so they changed the schedule so that the juniors could do the ACT without any distractions. After school, I did some homework, did some requirements, and went to taekwondo. Taekwondo was fun and I am catching up on other stuff like mentee/mentor sessions, and my leadership/class assistance credits. I hope i am prepared for the physical, written, and final test.

Listening

My dog had a grooming appointment at different Bandfield hospital than the one in Northlake. It was just a general check, but while I was waiting, I started to have a panic that I'm not doing enough to give him a consistent schedule and discipline due to my lack of knowledge and school. The vet tech came in and she listen to concerns. And we talked for a while, I was concern that I was taking too much of her time, but she didn't make me feel that way. She re-affirmed that he looks well and gave some advice. I really appreciate that little time she took to listen to my concerns. When I went to pick up Kodi, the vet came out and spoke to me to address my concern about anxiety and training, and tips about brushing his teeth. Being heard and listening well is so important. I've especially...

2/28 "homework, requirements. It never ends.."

Today I went to school and reviewed for a science CFA we have tomorrow. But I just finished my requirements and went to class, and then I got the worst headache I've ever had. I ate food and went home after class. Then at school I turned in my poster and a lot of people liked it! (I think). I am now going to bed at 10pm.. I'm tired. I should do my last journal about how tired I just am. I think I need to go to bed more early than this but I can't bring myself to do it. I hope everyone had a great day and stay safe.

Blaze Pizza is doing a sale on 3/14, where any 11in pizza is $3.14. Is there a secret catch to this? Probably. As an early college I will proudly admit we are a bunch of nerds, especially my friend group. I got tired of Physics work so I went on my phone, where I saw the glorious $3.14 pizzas ad! I showed it to my friends, and since we're all nerds and just finished the trigonometry unit (which included the unit circle and... pi) we all got very excited over it. We're planning to geek out to our Precalculus teacher. She's either going to be excited with us or be concerned. I'll find out tomorrow!

Today I woke up and got ready for school.  Mom and I walked to school, and it was really warm out this morning.  I got to school and we did blocks and had recess.  Then I went to King Tiger and did class and did my black belt stuff.  I also worked on 2 essays (My Role model and How I can apply Taekwondo to my life).  I also ran mile, it started to drizzle so I ran pretty fast because I didn't know if it would start raining harder and really want to get that wet! I am pretty sure it was my fastest mile so far 9:40, its definitely faster than my pretest time which was 12:15.  Finally we got to go home and I practiced my recorder some its pretty hard mom was trying to help me but I was still having a hard time.  Then we had...

Hi King Tiger Family. It is Wednesday night and all is well!!! Pretty good day at work, normal crazy farm, but not terrible. I came home, ran between the rain drops :-) and did some requirements. I did eat in there somewhere and now I am writing this. Plan now is to finish a few things around the house and walk the dogs. Try to get the bed at a decent hour, but that is what I say every night. Have a great one. Take care.

Happy Wednesday! Today was a really busy day. Took Jovi on a tour of Bradford Prep. He has a spot there for 5th grade and we need to make a decision whether to make the move. We love Grand Oak, but moving to Bradford Prep would allow him to stay in a smaller school feel through high school. It's a long haul from our place though! After I got Jovi to school, I got my black belt requirements done. Then I had to take Jovi for a checkup with his doctor who is all the way in uptown. We also went to taekwondo tonight and I got in a class assistance credit. Hope everyone had a great day!
