I’ve been fighting a migraine on and off all day. Barometric pressure is changing with this warmer weather. I still have to go to sparring this evening AND do my black belt class after. I may go to lake Norman Saturday for class as North Charlotte is hosting junior instructors camp and therefore no classes Saturday. I guess it will depend on my head and the weather. I have a school teams meeting at 5pm….yay.

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.
