Hi King Tiger Family. This morning we went to Black Belt class and got to work on some 3rd Dan Self Defense and Specials. It was great as Nate and I are just starting to learn it and great we got to work with the Masters on it. Then we helped with the next class. I am learning that I truly enjoy instructing and missed it. I like showing the kids the practical side of what they are learning. I know that not everyone likes that but I have found it helps we remember things when I understand "the why"... I think something that is lost with many people (including myself sometimes) is knowing your distance. How far do I need to be to kick or punch someone. We were working on that today. Then we helped with the Bags of Hope service project and got to help put together all the bags they need. It was amazing to see all the food and donations, and how people really worked to help the people. It was great. Then Nate and I came home and did some more requirements. Then did some things around the house. Now writing this. Have a great evening. Don't forget daylight savings!!!  Take care.
