So excited to restart the cycle again. The one for my Master. Different than any other cycle before. I started my career and am not at tkd as often as I use to be. I’m live downtown Charlotte, which can interfere with my time management (traffic!). But I know what is expected and I know if I prioritize the cycle, I will have good results. With the audit cycle, My skating group and developing new Friendships and relationships was also a priority. My new job and the change in my sleeping hours was also a priority. But I feel Establish in my career and with my friendships that I can put a lot more energy towards cycle.
I’m excited for the growth!

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.
