Super proud of myself....I assisted in two classes back to back, then stayed for my sparring class. Anxiously awaiting my pullup bands, thanks to a fellow blackbelt candidate.

Today begins the opening ceremonies for the summer 2024 Olympics, so at camp today, all games and activities will be centered around that! Super excited. Javelin toss( pool noodles), jump rope competition, hula hoop competition, bowling competition (knock down cones) and lots of crafts!

With the competitions, I'll easily get my physical requirements in!!!

Happy Rainy Friday 🌧

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.
