Friday night and I usually go to Harrisburg for sparring. It’s not a packed class, but I’m feeling nauseated and not sure I’m going to make it. I took pepto in hopes it helps and that I can still make it. I won’t be able to go next Friday as I will be in Greenville NC for instructors camp!!! I worked with one of the other black belts last night on 2nd Dan one steps. I plan on reviewing both 1st and 2nd Dan one steps this weekend and add in specials for both. I continue to gain ground on the curriculum, but not where I need to be…yet.

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.
