Happy Valentine day to everyone! Had a pretty good day. Awards Ceremony, planted seeds with the students, then had our valentine party that we are really supposed to have. Have black belt at 8am then JTs at 930, then get to have my mentor session at 10! Waaaaaay to much school work due for next week, so it looks like I’m going to be doing that this weekend. I still need a new mentee, I hoping to speak to a parent tomorrow and start Tuesday. Hope I can get enough sessions in.

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.
