Today was a better day than yesterday. It stopped raining long enough for me to get my requirements in. It was nice to get outside…being stuck in doors due to the weather, the walls can close in real quick. I feel a little more comfortable with the self defense and working hard to be ready by March. once again,I am going to be short mentee meetings because mine has not shown up since late January, so I need another. This is extremely frustrating.

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.
