My journals are done, bit I'd thought I would just chat for a minute. I was able to meet with my mentee for the first time in 2weeks.....she did really well with her poomsae and yellow self-defense. Unfortunately she will not be ready forvthis testing due to not practicing high yellow kick defense. This was my fault...I didn't realize she was a high yellow. Maybe I can get her ready gor make 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.
