Today I had 2 bochos helping wit my JT class. One of them led warm ups and both helped the kiddos with their kicking and punching. Then I had a great mentor session working on bocho one steps, knife, and 1st Dan one steps. I’m feeling a little better about all my defense, not confident, yet, but better. Looking forward to training at the park and possibly take a couple laps.

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.
