Today we came back from the beach and the drive back was 5 hours long! But we entertained our selves, and the sun was very bright and my face and back got burned so every time the sun shined on me it hurt badly. But my face felt very smooth, mostly my nose. So that was my day.
Today during summer camp we went to the pool, and of course the kids were crawling all over me. After that I helped with some class, mostly did my requirements and then I went for a run, with Logan. During sparring class we did a lot of sparring drills with the shields, and then we did a kickboxing kind of sparring style.
Push ups were easy last week, now there a little hard again. Took sparring again, super fun. I'm pretty tired, going to the pool wears me out
I woke up early and finished my physical requirements. Then I went to King Tiger. We went to the park where it was so hot. I couldn't withstand the heat. Later we ate lunch.

Hi I am really just trying to take up time so that I can go watch digimon Yes I watch digimon yes I know its a little kids show but its fun to watch the show you watched 5 years ago
Today, I ran 1 mile in the morning. Then, i did my requirements. I got a lot done. Then, i went to my friends house. Then, we went to the pool. But it thundered like crazy in Moss Creek, so they closed the pool. Then, I went to go help out in the family class. Then, I took black belt class
Today was a hot day. I was in that heat for most of my day. I was playing at a play ground and fell off a spinning ride. The rest of the day was very hot and only got hotter. I had a very sweaty black belt class.
Today was a fun day. I did my requirements and then ate lunch. After that I went to the family class to help out. Then I went to black belt class. We practiced all of our poomsaes the whole class. Everyone was tired after black belt class. I came home ate dinner. Now I'm going to sleep. Good Night.
Helped out with classes today. almost every physical thing we made the kids do, I did it with them. I end up doing a lot of physical requirements. I did 100 burpees and squat thrust today. I also did a mentor session. Master Natasha checked all my gwe forms and staff form. Plus I showed someone their staff form. worked really hard today. Especially since I didnt do anything Sunday. I sprained my finger at Kukkiwion and refuse to let me do anything but rest and chores.
So I am going to bed right now don't really have anything special to talk about today so yeah. did you know there is this thing called gps spoofing. Its where you trick your somewhere else like in pokemon go and it makes pokemon uncatchable so you basicly just waste your pokeballs in an attempt to get more pokestops. it also happens if you are playing the game safley as a passenger down the highway.
Today, while I was running, my leg started to bother me and I got a headache. I had to walk part of my three miles for the day because of it. When I got home, I felt much better. I hope this sort of thing doesn't happen on the day of the test because I would like to have a not-terrible-but challenging time.
Today I remembered something I like to do when I am bored. I would do the water bottle flip challenge. It is where you fill up a water bottle about 3/8s of the way. Then you grab it by the cap and flip it up. The goal is to get it to land on the bottom and stand up. I wasn't very successful because I hadn't done it in ages. But I still did pretty well. I tried to flip it up the stairs and down the stairs except for the fact that I was very unsuccessful. My dad tried it as well and he didn't get a single on to stay up. Maybe I could do this as my newly learned skill. (rhetorical question)
I woke up early and went to king tiger. I finished my physical requirements and won a round of museum. We went to the pool and they had a big slide. It was fun. I got a record for going the fastest. When we got back we watched a movie and then I took class. Later I took hyper and we were got to use nunchucks. That was my first time using them. I had a good day.
When me and my brother woke up we went to my dads house and watched t.v. Then me and my dad went back to my house to get sleepover things. Then I went to Brookes house for the sleepover. Next we disgust our options for things to do and ended up going to the pool. After the pool we made this body scrub that makes your skin soft. Then we made pretzels and bagels and had dinner. Finally we went outside to play.
Today was another tiring day, but it was very good. I found out about all the credits you earn from attending Kukkiwon, and I ate really good pizza from Jasons Deli. Other than that, it was a pretty normal day. I helped out with classes after summer camp and got a lot done since it is red stripe week. I'm excited to finally sleep now though.
Today I had a mentor session and worked on staff forms 1 and 2. I got better at twirling the staff over my head. I am stating to go through it and not have my hand facing the wrong way.
Today, i was at my friends house in the morning. I had a sleepover at his house. I did my requirements and ate breakfast. Then, we played Xbox for a little while. I did nothing till Hyper. We practiced nunchuks. It was fun. Then, I helped out in the family class.

Yesterday, I competed in the Kukkiwon Cup. I came in third place during the competition. I practiced right before I competed and the poomsae went very well. It was the best one yet. I'm proud of the medal I got and hope to do better in the next tournament I'm in.
Today I got back from Greenville for the Kukkiwon Cup, I had a lot of fun over the weekend at the tournament. I hope everybody else did to.

Kukkiwon Cup was good!! I got a bronze metal in poomsae. But sparring was awesome. I think I did really well. The first girl I went against beat me by 2 points, but I got some really good kicks and head shots in. Then I sparred for second place. I won the second match and got sliver. I am pretty happy.
Today I did my requirements and looked over and finished some essays. Today was a productive day. I got a lot done.

At Kukkiwon I did poomsae and got a silver but in sparring got a gold because I won the first round and on the second round had to go the the medic so the guy got disqualified
Today I am going to the beach. Stayed at the hotel last night and was so tired from Kukkiwon!
Our DoJang is AWESOME!!! I want to adopt a Tae Kwon Do mom to have my back. The parents, and grandparents were on point with changes of clothes, snacks, drinks and hugs. Everyone had a fan club called family. The kids really do take their cue from their family. (Shout out to Mrs. Evins for being my coach/mom during the sparring match) Once again I was impressed by the effort that went into the competition. The event was well organized and geared toward a safe competition. The judges and referees were attentive and alert. Win or lose, I think the respect for the competitors shone through. Instructor Hero kept us on point and focused. With all of the excitement, he made us stretch and warm up just like sparring class. I really helped to calm me down. His breathing exercises make an old zen meditation practitioner proud. Timing is everthing, at...
today i mostly went to the pool and was hanging with my friends which is always fun, and i'm so excited to finally go on the vacation i have been dreaming about the past month.
Today I did some of my requirements. I was very tired after I did them so I relax for a while. I ate lunch and then we went to the bank. The bank was closed so we went back home. I played outside for 4 hours with my friends. I came home and ate dinner. Now I'm going to sleep. Good night.
Today was a relaxing day, I practiced with my basketball, went to game stop to sell my games, and that was it.
Today, i did basically nothing in the morning. Then, i went to a birthday party. it was fun. Then i went to run while dribbling my soccer ball.
Today I went to the kukkiwon cup and it was awesome!!!!! I got both gold in sparring and poomsaes!!! In sparring I started out down 0 to 5. Then I got up to 4 and he was all the way at 12!! Then I made a huge come back and I ended up at 16 and he ended up at 14. It was the best tournament ever, and I really like the medals.
Hi, I think that this years Kukiwon Cup is the best one I have ever been to. It was really fun and I want to tell you about my experience there. First of all I want to give a shout out to Taylor Belcher because this was her first Kukiwon and she did very well in this cup and I hope she had fun. My experience was very fun and I was proud for the people that I was cheering on. I competed in forms and I chose Koryo for my form, I got a Bronze medal. Everyone gave me a high five and told me I did a good job. Everyone else did good and I was happy for my friends. This was also the first time I ate korean food. Oh and after my form competition my dad and I went to get snowcone's from Kona snow. It was...
Today is my grandpa's birthday. Sometimes he takes me and my sisters to tae kwon do classes. He is the person who always takes me to places when my parents can not. I can depend on him. I am glad he is here.
I woke up, ate breakfast and started my exercises. Then we went to the pool. Then when I got back home we visited with my Uncle and Aunt for awhile. Then at night we watched the Olympic Trials.
I woke up early. I ate breakfast and later went to my grandparent's house. I did my physical exercises and did some of the test questions. We ate lunch and played outside, then went home.
Well, I'm finally home from Kukkiwon. It was a lot better than I expected it to be. I got a gold medal in Poomsae and a silver in sparring. The worst part was definitely the drive. I woke up at 2 because I thought we were leaving at 3:15. I didn't get picked up until 4! It was a four hour drive both ways and it was exhausting. But it was a great experience and definitely worth it.
Today, we went to get my school supplies. I actually thought that we went early, but there was not everything there that we wanted. I did requirement and went to some ones house for dinner
Today was electronic day at camp. We keep getting in trouble because people were to loud or acting up. The internet was a struggle for me to get but I still got it.
Me and my little brother are starting a youtube channel called random bros. We havent done anything yet except shoot videos
Tomorrow is Kukkiwon! I'm really excited but also very nervous. I've been working on my Poomsae, stances, and sparring a lot and i hope it will make a difference tomorrow. All i can do is try my hardest!
Today I did stuff and then I went to the hotel for kukiwoncup a day. Earlier than what we were supposed to do so good night.
Today we are leaving to go to the hotel for kukkiwon, I'm really excited for sparring and I know what I have to do for my poomsae. Then we're going to the beach after kukkiwon!!
Not going to Black belt class today, my parents and I are leaving for Greensville around 3:30. I'm just going to pack and study my study guide. I have the right one and I completed the right one. And as I was writing this journal, I got a text from my dad ... change of plans, were leaving at 6:30. Man I could of went to help with Summer Camp, oh well, things happen
I had one of the most fun days I have had in a while besides being able to work at summer camp which is always fun my friend Alex's 18th birthday was today. A bunch of our friends got together and threw him a party we had some food and we played a ton of Pokemon Go today. I actually just got back... about three four hours of walking and running around it was amazing and I hope to do it again soon.
today on my way to class a 230 cp pikachu showed up. I tapped him and literaly cried because I had no pokibals
Today I went to King tiger and watched a magic show at Tae Kwon Do from a magician named Jason Frame.
So. Here we are again. I am working towards my second poom. I am nervous but excited. I hope I will finish all my requirements this year like I did last year. Like the other day I ran four miles. I've already started my push-ups, sit-ups, and kicks. And I've got my first journal done. WOO HOO!
Today at summer camp we had Jason Frame come to show the kids magic, this year he added in some new tricks that were pretty cool. The summer camp took class at the park instead of at the school which saved some time. After the first class I mentored Andre and then went for a two mile run. After that I jumped into doing warm-ups for the next class.
Today was a relaxing day. I had came back from my friend sleepover, and I went to BBC and that was it.
We watched a magic show today. The guy was great, and super entertaining. I worked on my staff form, i think i got it down, just need to practice. Took sparring class. Not much else happen today. I got to pack for Greensville. Can't wait for Kukkiwon
The highlight of my day was a game of cards. I was running the game of card then my mom came to pick me up. I was so sad to see my whole hand of cards put back in the deck.
I have been just practicing and practicing for Kukkiwon! It's a little nerve wracking but hopefully I'll do well. I didn't do a lot today. I helped my mentee practice before he tested for his high white belt, and it felt good to see him receive it. I took sparring class and i think I've gotten much better than i was before. Other than that, i stayed home all day.
Today, i did nothing. I did my requirements, ran a mile, and went to family class. That was my day
today i had a very relaxing day except for that i had to run a lot. and i cant wat for my family vacation.
hello every body today i woke up ate did stuff went to tea kwon do and then went to bed
Today I did all of my requirements and I'm about to go to my grandparents house. I'm still going to black class and have packed for kukkiwon cup.
When to the movies with the King Tiger Kids. At lunch, I told them i would do 10 push-ups for each kid that stayed quiet 1 whole minute (their was 9 kids at the table). So surprise that only three of them talked. I did 40 of them in front of them, with a couple short breaks for my arms. I finished them after we left the park. I it was a great way to do some requirements and make the kids laugh. My push-ups have got so much better!!! I can do 15-20 good ones in a row. IMPROVEMENT. "Strive for continuous improvement, instead of perfection" -Kim Collin
Today I just did all my requirements and not much except go to auto bell to get our car cleaned for kukkiwon. And I have gotten even more tips for my poomsae, so I think I'm ready for kukkiwon!! Thatso about it for today.
Today I was at x country camp and when we got home I did black belt. Tonight we went to waffle cone Wednesday at Kilwins. On our way back my brother caught his second pikachu and he just started this week. I taught him everything he knows.
My mentee has been doing better since our mentee sessions have started, but there are a couple errors that she tends to make. While everyone makes mistakes, I am determined to make her poomsaes look as good as the ones that will be at Kukkiwon Cup. I know she has the potential to make her poomsaes flawless, so I'm going to make sure it happen.
Today I did some of my requirements. I didn't do all of my requirements today because I was tired and sleepy. I started working on my school project because I haven't started it yet. I did my project for 30 minutes and then I took a shower. I ate lunch and then I went to my friends house to play Xbox. Then I went home and got dressed for Tae Kwon Do. I went to sparring class and helped out with the family class. I got home and ate dinner. Now I'm going to sleep. Good Night.
Today I worked on a new system for the mentee and mentor sessions. I was at camp today and got a lot of requirements done there. I also had sparring class today.
We had a great time at the self defense class on Saturday. Hope there will eventually be a self defense course for people who want to learn more. They are excited about the donations at the shelter. People were very generous. Can't wait for Kukkiwon this weekend even though I don't feel prepared.
Hi today is a good day because I am going to relax today. The reason that I am so happy about this is because I am really tired after me and my brother play tennis for three hour and I think we just need a day so we can relax. So instead I am going to chill and relax. Were I am relaxing you may ask, to my grandmothers house. I am just going to blog and do the physical requirements and that is it. I can relax for the rest of the day.By relax I mean sit and watch TV while eating chips. Also I may play with my brother and my Moms cousin. That is my definition of relaxing. Anyways talk to you next time. Bye and have a good day.
Rough couple of days - - urg- - -but I will be back. My body and head is not cooperating with what my mind would like to do. Really we have been attached long enough it should know better to listen.
Today i met up with a friend and watched the movie legend of Tarzan, that movie was really good, some parts were kind of slow but overall a good movie. I also got to tae kwon do at 6:10 and didn't end till about 9:25 so that was long!! But i do like the PMAA class and i got the uniform today, that's so cool!! And kukkiwon is coming up on Saturday and i got really good feedback, can't wait!!
Today I did all my requirements. I ran 3.24 miles today and I was exhausted. After that I did my push-ups and sit-ups. I ate lunch and played xbox for a while. Then I got ready for TKD because I was going to the family class and get my leadership credits. After the family class I went to Black Belt class. Black Belt class was fun because we did a lot of kicking. Now I'm going to sleep. Good Night!!
Today during summer camp we went to the pool and it was pretty fun. After we got back from the pool I worked a lot on my requirements. I ran 2 miles and during sparring I did pretty good getting ready for the tournament this Saturday.
Today I got a mentee and did my first mentee session. We worked on white belt and high white belt.
I've been practicing Koryo poomsae for the Kukkiwon Cup for the past couple days. I've gotten more feedback on the poomsae and I'm working towards making it better before Saturday. I'm a little nervous that I'll make a single mistake and how much it would cost me, but if I work hard and stay positive, I'm sure I'll be okay.
Today was the second day of Olympic week and it was another great day. The kids got to see the instructors do some "entertainment" and the kids were howling with laughter made my day just to hear them. The first half of the day the little tigers and I had our own separate space and the kids were super focused and very strong which made me happy, seeing them work so hard is a feeling that indescribable. But towards the end when two groups came into the same room the kids lost focus and I don't blame them it was very loud and there was a lot of people in there. Tomorrow I am hoping to have my own space once again!
Today was the first day of x country camp so my miles were a little up there. For some crazy reason he made us work our arms and not our legs so I did 30 burpies. I am also putting in something from yesterday, which is when I caught 2 squirtles in the same day. if don't know what I am talking about, you have to get a Pokemon Go account. #GO TEAM RED
Today, i went to the pool with my friends. It was fun. In the morning, i did my requirements and ran 1 mile. I am about to go to the family class and black belt class. i hope i get a leadership 2
Today at summer camp we went to a place called the spraygrounds. We also played and ate lunch that the park. For the rest of the day I have to go to black belt class and do some reqirements.
Today was our first day of Summer Camp and the theme is Olympic Sparring. Since we are in the temporary space before we get to move into our new dojang, so there was some issues that wasn't as much fun as some of the summer camps before. It was a little loud during camp but I could get louder than everyone else. I had the youngest kids the little tigers in my group and I really enjoyed those kids they were cracking me up all day! I can't wait for another day of camp for tomorrow.
Today i am done with my white belt challenge and my actual black belt feels way heavier than the white belt! But i do have to put ice on my arm and i can't wait for kukkiwon cup!!!!
Today I went to summer camp and we had new students and this week is magic week.
Worked today at TKD. We went to Robinson park and Master Hartle helped me get a bamboo staff (they have a bamboo forest across the street). I had a great mentor session. I worked on my pal gwes. I learned Sam and Sa. Then two classes later, I had to teach it. Nothing makes you pick something up quicker than teaching it to someone. I also started my white belt challege
For the past couple days, I was thinking about who my mentee should be. Today, all of a sudden, after summer camp's class, Alex asks me to help her with her self-defense. I asked her if she would like to be my mentee for the cycle, and she agreed. We agreed to meet daily after leadership classes. This will get most of my mentee requirements done before school starts.
Long and short crazy day at work then did not hydrate enough before my run so after run felt like I was run over by a truck - -I should know better than that. Oh well live and learn- - -good news I did not get sick during bb class.
Today at summer camp we to what seemed to be a new park to me. I also just had a very relaxing evening.
Today, I ate breakfast and went to a shop with my dad. After that, I had Bojangles and did my requirements. Then, i went to hyper pro. I also got a leadership 2 at the family class. I had a good day
Today I did my first day of the white belt challenge. When my sisters got to class I really had to be humble. Today was a productive day any way.
Today I did all my requirements except for my running. I couldn't run because I didn't wake up on time. After my requirements I went to a movie with my friends. We went to see Legend of Tarzan in AMC Theaters. After the movie we ate at Burger King and then we roamed around in the mall for a little while. Then I came home and ate a snack. I'm about to go to Hyper class now. I hope it'll be a fun class.
Today wasn't anything special. I worked at summer camp and every single break I had, I worked on requirements for my cycle. I was so exhausted at the end of the day but at least I'm getting closer to finishing everything I need to do.
Didn't to do much physical requirements today. My aunt took me to church (40 min drive) with her and we stayed there til 1. Then we went out to eat with her and my cousins friends. Finally came home around 5 and the AC was turned off (we been having a few problems with it, so we turned it off before we left) It was terrible hot. But on the brighter side, I finish my reading. I work in the school library last year, and the librarian gave me any of the books she was giving away. And i happen to get The Alchemist, which is coincidentally on the black belt suggested book. Short but amazing read. After i finished reading i watched the author, Paulo Coelho, being interview on the Oprah Show. I can't wait to write my essay on the book. I did finished one of essay today, since...
My requirements have been recently getting more difficult than at the start of the cycle. My body is in constant pain and cramps more easily than before. At the beginning of the cycle, I was able to run over three miles straight, but now I'm barely able to run two. Hopefully my body gets used to this amount of exercise before testing.
Today, i woke up and went to see the Secret Life of Pet. Then, i did my requirements after lunch. I had lots of time left, so me and my friend went to the pool for a while.
Today i finished my white belt essay and also did my regular workouts, i'm very glad to say that i can wear my black belt once again. But my left shoulder has been hurting since 2 days ago, and i am going to the chiropractor tomorrow so that's good. That's really all so good bye.
Today I studied some of the black belt test and of course me and my brother did our workout. We also worked on staff and sticks and i finished another essay, i did alot!
Good day today - -little things in life excite me - -I was done with the HT and Wally World by 10:00 this morning which left time to finish the domestics, productive on the requirements then great dinner with most of the meal prep done for the week. Really does not take much to make me a happy camper!!
