Today was slightly different. I got up, did a few of my requirements, then had day 1 of a math training. Came home, took a cat nap - well, I tried- completed my physical requirements. I went to the 6:35 class hoping to assist, but there were only two kiddos, so I worked on single sticks forms 1,2 3, and 4. Went to blackbelt class, worked on staff forms 1,2 3,( I need support with 2, 3) and haven't learned 4 yet. Then we did our dingle stick forms 1,2,3,4 and bolo. It's always a good class when the weapons cone out!

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.
