Today was early release for students, but teachers were stuck doing things. Tonight is sparring and black belt class. My allergies are kicking my bottom….so not sure what sparring will look like for me tonight. I had to switch mentees as mine has not been to KT since late January. I had my first session with my new mentees last night.

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.
