Tomorrow we have our Spring physical.....4 miles, burpees, jump roping, sit-ups, push-ups, ect. We also have our written test. I took a practice one today and did okay... I got most of the questions correct, missed some wording/fine detail, so I marked them wrong. I'm ging to study them a little bit more so i am prepared as possible for tomorrow. We will also be doing poomsaes...not sure what else. I am also going to go over my self defense and try to keep them straight in my mind. I'm also getting my fruit tree or bush tomorrow.

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.
