Had a great training with my mentor and another candidate! Reviewed 1st and 2nd Dan one steps. Then reviewed 3rd Dan one-step numbers 1-3 and learned 4. Reviewed hapkido 1-3, learned 4 and 5. Came home, did my lessons for school, and finished my requirements. Burpees and I will NEVER be friends; we will NEVER get along, and I think they should be replaced, or at the least, take out the pushup.

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.
