2 hour delay gave me time to do my requirements. I'm having a lot of trouble doing burpies this round. I don't see how burpies can help you get stronger. I'll be able to get my requirements done early tomorrow too, as it's a teacher work day. The other issue, the bitter cold is making it challenging to to get my jog/ walk in....but I'm doing my best.

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.
