It's been a minute since I have journaled, however, I'm over my 50. I met up with the blackbelts st tbe park this morning. I enjoy working with them. We worked on single stick 4, double stick 1, Sa, chill, koryo, taebeck, gum gong. (I'm probably spelling all these forms wrong).

I could really use a nap, but I'm to cold. I'm chilled to the bone. We keep our house at 68 degrees all year long ( either heat / air).

I don't mind doing any of the requirements except burpees...those seriously need to be swapped out, especially when you are also doing planks and push ups.

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.
