Did a lot tonight at blackbelt class. In-between poomsaes, we had to do self defense. I did pretty well. Remembering all but two of my self defense...not bad for just learning them a few months ago.

My poomsaes seem sharper too. I have another candidate that has sone very intense moves, and I'm trying to make my moves just as intense.

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.
