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.
