Little Tiger Testing!

My day started with requirements.  Afterwards, I headed to the North Charlotte dojang.  Today was a milestone day for Little Tigers.  Today was the first time we did testing for the Little Tigers since the program began again.   The kids were so excited!  Some of them got to the dojang thirty minutes before testing because they wanted to make sure they weren’t late.  Many of them brought their parents and their grandparents to watch.  The kids got to show their family how hard they’ve been working on following directions, answering yes ma’am, kicking and punching, basic stances, and even counting in Korean.  You could tell that both the kids and the adults were very proud of their accomplishments.  Their instructors were very proud too! J  Thanks to Master Knight, Instructor Dege, and Melvin Harris for helping with testing.

I hate that I missed the demo at Freedom Park and Instructor Auerbach’s empathy class, but the Saturday Little Tigers is my class and I couldn’t miss their test.  I’m sure that everyone had an awesome morning and that Instructor Auerbach challenged everyone in BB class.  I can’t wait to read the journal entries and hear the stories!
