Had a good day today. School went well, I'm really enjoying my kiddos and my team. I need to take pictures of my room.

Went to blackbelt class tonight. Volunteered to show a 1st Dan self-defense. I never volunteer in class, but thought I would try. It took a couple tries, but I got it correct. Yay for me. I hope I didn't embarrass my mentor because I messed up.

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.
