Time for coffee.......showered, and going to camp. I'm going to attempt to work with my mentee, but it's always a challenge to grab her for just 10 minutes. I went a Jr. Tigers class last night and assisted...yay! 1 down, 19 to go! I also heard and saw two candidates run warm ups, they did a great job! I felt a little more confident at sparring last night, but still do not like getting hit in my head. I'm also getting signatures in my book which is exciting....now only if I can get my scores correct on the website chart.

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.
