Loooooong day.

I keep saying I am going to write my papers...I need to get the easy ones completed do 8 can focus on the challenging ones during my actual testing cycle.

I've looked at my book....not sure I'm going to make all my mentee requirements, since I lost 2 weeks looking for a new one.

I've been in martial arts since 2002. I started in tong soo do under Head master M.K. Lee in Pineville, N.C.

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.
