Candidate Journals

Today was a great day. In the morning I had school as usual. When I got home I did my requirements. Then I had dinner and went to bed.

Today was a rainy day!  I did some requirements before school and finished them after school.  I had nachos for dinner and had some time on my iPad.

I have not been feeling well today, so I think I am going to pass on requirements. I will have to make it up sometime this weekend. It’s very inconvenient to be sick during the cycle. I hope that by getting rest tonight I will feel better by tomorrow.

Holy cow, what a wet day!  No running outside, that's for sure!  Took a great black belt class with Master Chelley at Lake Norman.  Almost done with all of my leadership credits, and have less than 20 miles left!  Sounds great, but behind on a couple other things.  it was fun to do a lot of stick forms today.  

Today I went to black belt in birkdale and I got a new book at the barns and noble down the street. Class was really fun. It was a good day

I had to work on a french project it was so hard! I also had a psych test but I think I did pretty good. 

Today I had no school. I was very happy because I got to go to King Tiger and spend time with my friends. Today we played a lot of big mat things and it was fun. At lunch we watched shark boy and lava girl the movie. Sparring class yesterday was fun and today black belt class we did some stick forms. 

Today at school we had a 2 hour delay AND WHEN WE GOT AT SCHOOL WE WATCHED INSIDE OUT.after that it felt like I HALF DAY!!THEN I WORKED WITH MASTER WEEKS,AND NOW WE ARE GETTING READY FOR THE JEDI PARENTS NIGHT OUT.BBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYEEEE!

hola amigos i am home from school and thank god i don't have to go back there tomorrow. i'll update on thursday since i'm pretty sure i didn't journal yesterday. thursday was chill and around 12:30 i went down to the lower school (our school has K-12 on 1 campus) to watch my sister perform in a midsummer night's dream. i don't remember what the character's name was, but i do remember that it was a guy who turns into a donkey. after that my sister wanted to stay @ school n take the bus home and i was not ab that life so i left with my mom. bbc was fine. friday is chill so far, and that's pretty much it. goodbye, sleep well, and see you tmrw

Today i woke up and did most of my requirments. As usasul though on the days off of school, after that I went to the gym and ran 1.5 miles and now I'm getting ready to leave for Lake Norman black belt class at 5:30!!

Today at school I learned a lot about fractions. We had to stay inside for recess and indoor recess is always crazy. I got to take leftover pizza from dinner for my lunch. Tonight Far and I are going to black belt class at Lake Norman.

Happy days are back again! I closed on my new house and the painting has begun! I have already started scoping out running routes around the construction in my neighborhood so we can still get Taylor's miles in. I learned a valuable lesson this afternoon, don't run in the rain with 2 Beagles, an umbrella, and 2 bags full of doggie #2. It won't work out for you, don't try it. Needless to say, my run today was difficult. Sparring was a great class last night and I am looking forward to BBC today!

Today I woke up earlier than I thought I would because it was a teacher workday. When I woke up I went to do my requirements. Then after that I ate breakfast and went to the gym. Later when I got home I ate lunch and wrote this journal. I’m planning to go to black belt class at the Lake Norman location at 5:30 today. So yeah...

Good morning. Yesterday was one of the longest days ever. School was good and from there i went to my classes. From there went straight to Tae Kwon Do. Sparring class was good. It was really exhausting. After that I did my mentee session. Came home and finished my school assignment and hit bed. Waiting for the long weekend. Off to school now. Good Day all!

Decided to journal this morning since I am going out to dinner tonight with my husband, yeah. Stiff this morning working on self defenses. Usually I like to run in the morning but woke to the sound of rain so changed the plan. Will be another busy day however I always look forward to Friday night Black Belt class!

I tried something different today! If I add my journal entry on my kindle and then go back and read other journal entries, I don't see the names with the entries. Today I am using my other kindle and decided to read other journal entries before I logged in to add my entry. It is different seeing who wrote which entry, rather than guessing. I might be good at guessing a few, but certainly not all.  Hopefully work is getting closer to having some key decisions being made and shared, so they can be acted on. I have been feeling a little in limbo. I have been thinking that I need to find something that I am passionate about and move in a different direction, but change is hard. I also still need to come up with what that new direction is. Work has not been that for a while, and...

Today, I did great on my tests and quizzes. I am working on my essay right now. I got my leadership credit and my BBC weekday. I had fun in the Black belt class today. 

I had fun sparring at class today, I was more tired than usual from it. Master Marcus helped me with the koreyo poomsae and helped me with a special self defense. 

It has been a good week so far. Work has been good and busy. Today I worked through my requirements mostly before heading up to Harrisburg to help out with belt testing. Tomorrow will be the end of the work week but not the end of working on requirements.

Another long 45 minute drive home from class.  Staff forms in class and double stick 2 in my mentor session with Master Cavazos.  I'm definitely feeling better about double stick 2.  For some reason, my mind just wasn't grasping it.  I really focused on self defense today.  I just need to practice, practice, practice.  Still need to work on 3rd Dan one-step and special self defense #4 A LOT.  

Good day , got some miles in ,could have gotten a few more in , but did not want to over do my knee.

Just another day on the cycle. i went to school and apparently I have homework on a three day weekend! After school I went to a piano lesson and King Tiger. At King Tiger I helped out with family class, took black belt class, and had a mentee session. when I got home I wrote this journal and tracked.

Another busy day!  I had school, then requirements, then soccer practice, and finally black belt class.  I got home, took a shower, and now bed!

Long day, ran at 5, that was really my accomplishment for requirements today. Been gone from the house all day. Got a sparring class and leadership class in. Going to quit early today and Catch up tomorrow.

Today was a great day. In the morning I had school as normal. After school I did my requirements. Then I went to king tiger for sparring(Lake Norman). Then I had dinner and went to bed.

Hey guys! You already know it- school, homework, requirements. The presentation at school today wasn’t that bad as I thought it would be. I’m just glad I was able to get it over with. Today I’m going to TKD and try and get credits and take classes. Well that’s really it! Hope everyone had a great day so far! Bye!!

I have had a pretty smooth week so far.  My Junior Tigers tested yesterday and they all did really well! Had a great energy the entire test.  Today we have our Senior Tigers & Adults.  Good luck to all those guys!  Training wise, still chiseling away at requirements.  Still have some poomsaes to learn and get down.

Good Morning. Yesterday was another really long day. I went to my classes from school. From there we went straight to Tae Kwon Do. Helped with family class and then did my mentee session. Came back home after 8pm and went straight to bed. I really need to sleep more and I am very tired. Waiting for another long weekend as we dont have school on Monday again. Have a good day!

Today wasn't that bad. I got my leadership credits 1&2. I am studying for my social studies vocabulary test. I also have a student council meeting tomorrow morning.

I missed school yesterday because I didn't feel that good. Today my mom said I was ok to go back but I still didn't feel great. I stuck it out and felt better by the time I got home. I did another session with my mentee Gabriel and it went really well. 

Today didn't feel like a normal Wednesday since I had Monday off. While working on my requirements I keep practicing bocho and 1st dan self defense. Especially the specials are not easy to do without a partner and getting that dynamic fight feeling in. Tomorrow Erik and I will go help out with testing.

It felt weird wearing the white belt. It brought back memories of when I first started. Everyone was teasing me there, but it was a fun day.

Today was a great day. I wen to school as normal. After school I did my requirements. Then I went to king tiger to help out I also got some menteeing seccion in.

I look at the cycle in chunks. What I have gotten done, what Month we are in. What more is to be done. With January ending next week I feel the time is flying by. I am away a few days next week and 1 week in February. Planning is key to get everything done. Running early tomorrow so that is all.

Had a pretty good day at work , got some miles in, body is feeling a lot better than last 2 days,

I ended up pretty tired by class today but teaching the younger kids is always fun. In my English class at school I have been assigned and interesting project. In class when we work on certain topics I've already mastered, I will get to work on an author study. An author study is basically where you compare two or more of a certain author's work and look for similarities and differences. I think I'm going to pick a classical author along the lines of Oscar Wilde or Jane Austen. I want to get more into classics and both of those authors . have been recommended multiple times. Anyways I hope everyone has a goodnight!

So today my dad showed us a magic trick we’re basically what he did was he took two eggs one of them he laid on the table and one of them he held in his hand and he made me and my sister like kind of like grab the air and likes throw the yoke into the second egg. Then he went and took a cup out of the cupboard and he cracked one of the eggs and it was completely empty so then and he showed us a cup and then he took another eight took the other leg and he cracked it and somehow there was two egg yolks from where we threw the yoke into the other one it was really coo   

annnnnnnnnd we're back to reality. the weekend high has officially worn off leaving us with school, homework, annnnnd MORE homework. it's aight tho since i'm not dead yet. so that's a plus. today was boring. i wish i had a dollar for every time i almost fell asleep. once i got home, i did my requirements and am now doing hw. peace out plp

I was sooooo hungry when I got home from work today so I took my son Ethan to DaeBak- the Korean restaurant that we went to when Grandmaster Lee was in town.  It was delicious and my son loved it.  Now I'm home and I'm getting started on requirements.  I was able to do 100 pushups this morning before work, but I didn't get in the situps and burpees like I usually do.  I also need to catch up on self defense because I'm running a little bit behind so I'll focus on those requirements tonight.  I have so much work to do, but I feel myself becoming stronger.  And, as an added bonus- I've lost 10 pounds since the cycle started.  I still have more to go, but that little bit of weight makes a huge difference in my training!

I was not feeling well again today so I didn’t do as many requirements.  I did get another essay done - Yay!  I am meeting with my mentor today and we are working on my staff form.  I made flash cards for the test and I have been trying to look at them every day.  Hopefully tomorrow my stomach will stop hurting.

Hey guys! Like always- school, homework, requirements. I have a presentation tomorrow, that I'm actually really stressed about because I hate presenting in front of the class. I'm planning to go to TKD today and get some credits. Well, that about it. I hope everyone had a good day so far!

Good Morning. It was cold yesterday and is still very cold. Waiting at the bus stop. Yesterday was a great day. My math teacher called me and asked me to lead the class and teach fractions to my class. I was nervous when she called me but i love math and I did pretty well. Fractions are very easy. Have a good day!

Even when I have a day that could have been a bad Monday at work, and then go to black belt class, I always feel better after class. Today was another one of those days! I don't really know what to expect anymore and that is frustrating to no end! I'm not one that takes to change easily and I am having a rough time lately. Surely it will get better, right? I have not come up with any good options, so need to stick it out for now.

Today I woke up and went to school as usual. In the afternoon I had Science Olympiad. After that I went to King Tiger to help out with family class, take black belt class, and do a mentor session with Master Dege. When I got home I did my homework and ate dinner.

Hey everyone it’s a good day today. I had black belt class today and I did lots of my exercises. I learned a ton of new things for my belt that I need to practice so I don’t forget them. I still have some things to do for my requirements for today but besides that I’m all good. Thanks for reading my blog. Bye 

Just got home from Black Belt class.  We worked on single stick forms in class and then Staff forms and Special #2 Self Defense with Master Dege's mentees.  I don't think I'll get much done in the way of requirements tonight but at least I was able to fit in some requirements this morning.  I have a 7 am meeting tomorrow, so requirements will have to wait until tomorrow night.  

Can you say COLD COLD, did not help the body at work to day. Still a little sore from yesterday . ????????????

Hey guys! Today it was back to the normal routine- school, homework, requirements. I’m going to TKD and taking black belt class and going to try to get some credits in. Hope everyone had a good day so far! Bye! 

Midterm today and another one tomorrow. I've been really busy...completed some requirements. It's white belt week and I'll work on another essay later.

Oh look another day of stress! I really hope this is the end of the drama about my house. My arms are really tired from doing extra push-ups and burpies so I don't go insane. On the bright side, it's getting me through my requirements faster so I can't complain there. The run was tough this morning, my body doesn't like it when I try to run and it's cold outside. Doesn't matter if im in a warm gym, it still knows. We are getting closer to the end of this journey! Guess I need to figure out a new skill, so does Taylor. Hmmm...

Sunday I took a break from requirements.  I didn't even go to the gym.  My body actually really needed it.  Took my son to the dojang to play for a few hours in the early morning.  Got a quick grocery run done.  After that, went to Ikea to puchase some more shelves for the dojang.  Watched both football games, and even though both teams I was pulling for lost, they were great games to watch.  Yesterday, got back to the gym and requirements, and taught some fun TaeKwonDo classes.  Will repeat again today! 

Today is the first day of school after the long weekend and i am so tireddd. Math was boring and i had a test in french, 

Today I’m back to school.  I got up early to get some requirements done before school.  I have soccer practice tonight.  I got another essay finished yesterday.  I only have 2 more to go!

Good morning. Yesterday was really cold. My brother and I ran for a mile but it was freezing. We came back inside. I finished all my requirements. Waiting at the bus stop. It’s extremely cold today as well and I have classes after school. Have a good day all!

Dear John Noticed you at the park the other day, seems Master Tucker, Master Dedge was working hard you were just laughing, what up with that. Get it together man and work hard. You may have been there 2.5 hours but you were laughing for 2 hours. So stop and get yourself motivated to do the work to get better. I am sure you were actually working as I noticed you did about 45 forms from sticks, staff and poomse in the credits so keep it up. Can not wait to see you out there next weekend. I also calculated up the amount of miles and obstacles you are doing this year.  Are you crazy you really do want to make 60 a bang.    Have fun, keep laughing and see you soon   John 

Today was a day to remember a very important person in American history. It is not just a holiday to where most people are off from school and work. Well Erik and I dragged Patrick out for a run this morning. Both boys were complaining about being cold but both of them ran better and faster than I have seen in a while. I was proud of them. Erik and I worked on finding answers for the written test, next weekend we will be creating flash cards to help memorize the answers. For dinner we did some awesome grilled turkey and black bean burgers.

usually i whine and complain ab how horrible mondays are but not today bc today was an amazing day. updates on the thing i had sunday - it went aight. aight, indeed. i got some important things done today and i am still on a high from sunday and add that to the amazingness of today and you're set. today was beautiful and i had the day off and it felt amazing to go to sleep for such a long time. imma go to bed so sleep well everyone and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOHOOOHOOHOOHOOHOOOO!!!!!

 Today was really relaxing. I got to finish a couple of requirements. But today I practiced my dance for my upcoming performances. I hope this week will go by fast for the 3 day weekend again!

I slept late today and it felt good. No more shorts for my runs. I had to wear jogging pants and my hands got cold. I wish I wore gloves too. I will be finishing up midterms this week. I felt tired doing my requirements today.

Nice Day off. Very relaxing. Meant to get more requirements in but did enough. Took the girls to Barnes and Nobles for the afternoon. Wrote another Essay while we were there. So that is good. Planning on cold early run tomorrow will see how that goes.

Today was long.  Monday's are always long.  I woke up at 5 am and worked on Poomsaes and Self Defense and then came home to continue requirements.  I've started doing my pushups on my pushup machine instead of on an incline.  The machine is called the "Pushup Pump" and it supports my upper body and doesn't stress my shoulder.  Hopefully the incline pushups have helped me develop some shoulder strength and will prevent me from injuring myself.  Speaking of pushups, I'm off to do my 200 right now.  

I had a great day today! I got to sleep in until around eleven and then had a donut for breakfast. After I hung around and did requirements between drawing and playing a couple of games. Later in the afternoon my mom, sister, and I went to Barnes and Noble. I picked out a book we got drinks and read for a little bit. My family had salad for dinner and I packed for school tomorrow So today was a lot of fun even though I dread school tomorrow. Anyways goodnight and I'll see everyone at class!

Well, I didn't have a day off from work due to the holiday, but I did get in over 3 miles after work and did burpees again after each loop. I started with 3 and figured if I did 4 instead, I would accomplish them that much quicker. Now for the rest of today's requirements. Ugh! After 125 burpees throughout my run/walk, pushups are slow going.

After working on my deck in the COLD,  Which I was happy it wasn't rain again today. Found it a little hard to do the requirements,  but got them in one step at a time. ????

Today wasn’t a bad day. Since I didn’t have school today, I woke up a little later than usual to go to the MLK celebration in downtown that I was invited to. After that I went home and rested for a while. When I felt like I was ready to start my requirements, I did my daily miles and moved on. Now I’m waiting for dinner time to come.

Today was a really cold day which means no running outside. That's ok, Taylor and I were able to get a run in anyway. With it being cold makes it hard to keep things from getting stiff. Lots of stretching through the day. Even though the schools were closed, I was able to get a mentee session in! Today Taylor is doing her empathy challenge, it has been glorious. She chose mute and it has been so hard for her to not talk...LOL. I look forward with helping her with her essay. 

Thank you, I finally have more time because of the long weekend for doing requirments. I really have a lot to catch up on so I'm making this short. I am going to Black Belt Class tommorow at North Charlotte. Bye

We were supposed to have soccer workouts today but it was 32 degrees and they canceled. But that also means ive been able to complete alot of requirements. 

Today was a good day. In the morning I did my requirements. Right now I am having lunch. In the afternoon I plan to finish my requirements and watch some TV. Hope you have a great rest of your day.

I’m so glad we didn’t have school today!! I started my requirements in the morning. Right now we’re going bowling and eating lunch afterwards. Once I get home, I’m going to continue my requirements. I’m planning on volunteering in the evening. Hope everyone had a good day so far! Bye! 

Hi guys guess where I am, I am at Orlando,Florida for my tenth birthday and I am rocking I have already been to universal studios and Disney.we are staying at a luxury hotel and they have vr that we might do today and tomorrow.yesterday we went to Disney springs and the last time we went we went to the coke factory I had to much coke and when we got back I was throwing up for almost two hours.the day before that we went to this place called ohana it’s a Hawaiian place near magic kingdom and they have the best fooooood.so taday we might do the vr and play b-ball and go to a park today bye  

I am feeling much better today.  I’m happy to have a day of from school -yay!  I don’t have much planned today.  It is really cold outside so I’m going to try and get in my requirements.  My mom and I will bundle up later and go for a long walk.

Good Morning. Yesterday was a good day. My brothers friends came over to our house to play with him. All the boys know is only how to eat. There was one skinny lanky boy close to 6 feet tall who would play for a little and then get hungry. He would come straight to the kitchen and ask my mom to give him something to eat. Then he would go out and play with the rest of the boys and then come back again. It was fun! I finished my requirements and also ran a lot yesterday. Have a good day!

Erik and I got up this morning and went for a run around the neighborhood. Afterward we had a good breakfast and lunch. Erik and I worked on some poomsaes and self defenses together in the afternoon in between working on the rest of the physical requirements. I still feel a little weak after this Friday but I will be back to normal tomorrow I hope.

Yesterday I spent all morning doing TKD. I also got another mentee session in with Gabriel. After we got home my Far helped me with my new skill I wanted to learn. I learned how to make Danish pancakes. And they turned out pretty good! Today we went for a run and hung out. 

I got to train with Ms. Theresa and Luci today. We both trained hard on our push-ups, sit ups, and burpees.  I did my longest run ever and completed my poomsaes and self defense and basic kicks. It was great working together.  I will work some on my essay and read my book tonight. I will sleep a little later tomorrow.

Today I went to church in the morning. After that I went to a festival and came home at 4pm. When I got home I started on my requirements and a few minutes later, we had guests. So I had to move upstairs and do my  stuff.

Really enjoyed my Sunday. First one I have been off in awhile. Got to go to Church with the girls. Then a day of requirements. Got a lot done. Terrance came over and ran with Luci and I and we practiced Self defense as well as all the poomsaes. Now watching football and enjoying wings with my husband.

Happy Sunday everyone! What a great day it turned out to be to train at the park! Oh, that poor cardinal! Many stick, staff and higher belt forms reviewed with Master Tucker and Master Burkart. Thanks for staying even longer to review self-defense, Master Tucker! Some self-defense is more difficult to practice without someone attacking. Maybe I won't be working on requirements as late tonight as most other nights.????

I'm surprised that today was so beautiful after all the rain last night.  Today I met Master Dege and Master Burkhart at Mint Hill Park and we trained for 2 1/2 hours!!  It's so helpful to train with people who can confirm that I'm not practicing incorrectly.  We worked on high belt poomsaes and stick and staff forms.  The only sticks form we didn't get to was Double Stick #2.  Master Dege and I were also able to work on high belt self defense, especially 3rd Dan 1-step.  The weekend was way too short!

Day 30 ,  and half ways there.  If I keep feeling good and on top of things I hope all will be done by day 60.

Hey guys! Today I went to church in the morning. I started on my requirements afterwards. In the evening we are planning to go to the movies.  I hope everyone had a great day! Bye!! 

Dear John    So your Cowboy did not beat the Irishman last night, it was not even close. You know you have Irish blood so why are you cheering on a cowboy. I think is is scripted anyway. I think there will be a rematch for bigger money and then your cowboy will win. We will see maybe it is not scripted and if not Conor is really one of the best pound for pound fighter out there. I know he can be arrogant but you can when you are the best.    See you at the next fight    John 

Today is a great day. Right now I am doing my requirements. My brother is going to a birthday party witch I am not invited to sadly in the afternoon. And I am going to do the rest of my requirements do extra as well as watch some TV.

Good morning. Yesterday was a very tiring day. Woke up and went to Sparring and BB class. We did a ton of stuff and kicks. My dad said I have to start focussing on my pull ups and do the negative hold as much as possible. I came home and started working on my assignments. I still have 3 more to get done today. I am planning to do my run this afternoon before the Championship game starts. Have a good day!

Yesterday was a very busy day.  I had 2 soccer games and I also had Tae Kwon Do.  I met with my mentor.  I also went to sparring and black belt class.  After all of that I got to relax and play on my switch.  Today I woke up not feeling so good.  I hope I feel better soon!

Today, I got my leadership,black belt,and  sparring. I finished my homework. I hope the rest of the 2 days will be fun.  Enjoy!!!

Today was a great day. In the morning I went to king tiger I got sparring, leadership credits 1 & 2, mentoring, and finally weekend BB class. Then I had lunch. After lunch I worked on my 5+ page essay might as well get started early I was able to get 1 page of it done and I also got to watch TV for a bit. Then we went shopping at Walmart. After shopping we had dinner came home and wen to bed.

I woke up at 8 to get ready for sparring class. After sparring class I helped out with family class, then took black belt class. I also had a mentor session with Master Dege today. When I got home I ate pizza and relaxed for a little while. Later I did my requirements and that pretty much sums up my day.

Well after the weather was in the high sixties and low seventies Last week, today was a reality check,  Yes is January and cold again. 

Had a blast teaching sparring and black belt class at the North Charlotte dojang.  Everyone did a great job!  Another trip to the gym, and more requirements done.  I can't believe it was actually cold today, I guess Mother Nature is finally ready for winter in the Carolinas?  

I enjoyed the kicking rounds and the poomsaes we did in class. I completed a lot of physical requirements. I went to the gym afterwards for push ups, sit ups, and burpees. 

Hey guys! Today I went to sparring and took black belt class. I was able to knock out a lot of my requirements during those classes. I’m glad we have a 3 day weekend. Our family is planning to eat out for dinner. Well that’s it! Bye! 

Morning started with Junior Tigers then collaborating with Master Tucker on various poomsaes. Master Knight taught black belt class today and we worked on quite a variety of things. Had a session with several of my mentees and we worked on bolo form and about half of staff form 2. I am feeling lazy, but need to get busy with today's requirements before my nephew arrives. Looking forward to training with Master Tucker and Master Burkart tomorrow except for the expected temperature.

Got up this morning and felt a lot better. Manged to go to the dojang for sparring etc. in Harrisburg. Instructor Foster gave us a really good workout. We started working on staff form 2 which seems very complex compared to staff form 1. I will get it though and be awesome..... eventually. Master Knight went over 1st dan self defense and knife special with me yesterday and I am trying to work lots on those to get the moves stuck in my head along with everything else.

well, today was okay. some notes w the title- idk what to type but i felt i had to put in a lil more so i j did a fill-in-the-blank. i woke up round 8, went to sparring, had a mentee session, ran a mile and a half, came back and did bbc, and went home and cleaned bc we had some people coming over. tomorrow is a very big day for me, and i'm kinda pysched out n a little bit -- wellllllll not really i was gonna say scared but it's not like i'm scared. it's like anxious anticipation but i'm not that anxious but i'm not overly joyful either. I will see you guys after that w updates. have a good afternoon and   _____(fill in the blank)_____. 

Today before taekwondo was starting back to class I did my run for the pre-cycle that I missed on the day of the recycle and I ran 2.5 miles in only 16 minutes. I’m really proud of my work and effort that I put in today

Today has been great so far!  i helped in the Junior Tigers class this morning, then worked with Master Dege on our creative poomsae- we have lots of ideas!  Black Belt class was awesome!  We don't do falls very much in regular classes so it was really good to do them in class today.  It's not really something I 'practice', but I gave it my all in class!  I do need to get better at back-rolls.  I'm looking forward to meeting Master Dege and Master Burkhart at Mint Hill Memorial Park tomorrow at 12:30 pm for training.  If anyone wants to join, you are welcome to come!

Great start to the weekend. Fun afternoon at Master Chelley’s on Friday helping out with the little tigers class, then working on requirements before Blackbelt class. Good Black Belt class working on stick and staff forms. Today fun Day with Master Knight. Learning some new combinations in sparring as well as how to block the head kick. Very important move for me since most are taller then me and can easily kick my head! The stretching was much appreciated too. Have a great weekend everyone.

Good Morning. Yesterday was another long day. From school went to BB Class. This morning I am heading to sparring and BB Class at North Charlotte. Finally a long weekend. Have a good day!
