I’m satisfied with the pre-test. I did as well or better than I did in the spring. Some of my taekwondo knowledge needing reviewing. It took me so long to remember an answer to a question.
After the test, the Charlotte portion of the king tiger demo team headed to Leland. Work a lot on jumps and improving our showmanship with kicks. So excited for demo performance in November.

I got to practice my backwalk over and I successfully did one!

Heading back to Charlotte.

Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons.

I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam.

Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it can be a bit overwhelming.
