Today I got up, went to the park and practiced some stick and staff forms and reviewed tbe high belt self defense in the air. It's challenging to do the real self defense on grass. After that, I came home and did my jump rope requirement. Then did some errands, took a nap, and finished up my requirements. I've found I need to spread my requirements throughout the day, because the amount has dropped, partially from being sore. I do not have any way to do my pull up requirements at home, so I'm behind in those.

I've been in martial arts since 2002. I started in tong soo do under Head master M.K. Lee in Pineville, N.C. After I broke my left hand during a colored belt exam, I switched to Taekwondo under Head master William Grady down in Pineville, N.C. I trained at Eagle Taekwondo for 8 years, earning my 3rd Dan. When Covid the dojang did not survive. I have now been training at King Tiger , North Charlotte location, under Grand Master Evins since June of 2023. I am excited to start my Masters journey, but very nervous at the same time. I look forward to meeting the other candidates.
