running low on days before our spring black belt exam. Had a great mentoring session with my mentor and the black belt crew from Sunday. We covered and reviewed SO much. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dan one steps. 1st and 2nd dan specials too. I'm tender from the physical stuff we did yesterday and the 4 mile run. I need to find some junior belts to mentee over the next ten days.....mine won't show up. It's very frustrating.

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.
