WAs able to go to 2nd dan and up black belt class. I really like being able to focus on higher belt curriculum in class setting. Often in black belt class we focus on bocho, first dan, or color belt curriculum. I also review the curriculum sheet for the cycle. There are only a few things left I need to review and get down. Plus I need to work on my creative form.

Today, I made potatoes pancakes, because I've been seeing them online, so yummy.

Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons.

I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam.

Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it can be a bit overwhelming.
