Saturday

I woke up kind of late for Taekwondo class today at 8:30 AM. I rushed to use the bathroom, brush my teeth, eat breakfast, get ready for sparring, and do other things. I arrived at about 9:06 AM and did my entrance fee which is 5 Burpees. Sparring was fun and after that, I got some mentor sessions, mentee sessions, leaderships credits, and did some other fun things. I skipped the Leadership class, but came later because I was getting a mentor session by a 2nd Degree Instructor, but Master Foster signed it. I also bought a bowstaff today, which was cool, and I am really getting good at the tricks and forms. When I returned, I ate lunch, and got ready for baseball practice at D-Bat. I stayed there for about 2 hours and really improved. I just came back and I am really happy and surprised of how strong I have became throughout the cycle. I really feel stronger and hope everyone also feels that way too! Tomorrow is also the Super Bowl, which is gonna be amazing.
