Good afternoon, I just got back from church, The sermon was about the last supper (this was by coincidence and had nothing to do with what happened in the Olympics). Hope everyone I having a good Sunday. Starting requirements soon.
So today we got up and we went to Black belt class and did a mentor session and then we helped out with the family class and that's about it
Got up this morning and went to the park. Spent about an hour and change working on bolo poomsae, knife self defense, and staff forms 1-3. I really enjoy getting together on Sundays at the park. It's very laid back, but we work on and learn a lot. After that, our group took a walk around the park and found several physical requirement stations. Some of us attempted, but the metal was very fat and slippery. My new sneakers are feeling better, and not hurting as much. I'll be able to do a second walk, possible jog, later around my neighborhood. I managed to do a 2 inch pull up...progress. maybe by spring I'll manage at least one.
I have a scratchy throat as of late yesterday and I'm worried I might be getting sick. REALLY hoping that's not the case because I don't want to get behind on requirements. Feeling very overwhelmed at the amount of stuff I still need to learn and hope we get our curriculum sheets very soon!
today I'm going to go to bryes house and play Xbox, ps4 and other games. Then we'll go outside and play basketball and football. Then we'll probably go to our camp and have fun there and that'll be the day.
Haven’t been able to do much exercise the past day or so as my back is hurting a bit. Nothing serious but I don’t want to run with those repeated impacts for a day or two to see what’s going on.
Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a long day. After coming back from TKD, I finished all of my civics assignments. Later in the afternoon, we went shopping and got a few things from the store. Today, I am hoping to start the exam and complete this course. This morning, I made up all my requirements from yesterday and hope to finish today's later in the afternoon. I think today is going to be more of a relaxed requirement day because I've already finished yesterday's this morning. Have a wonderful day!
Training day today at North Charlotte. I was basically revived as GM Evins drilled us today in combos, poomses, and double sticks sinuales. A little sweat does go a long way in reactivating those muscle centers. Completed my cycle requirements. I also connected with my mentee and had a nice day holistically. Thank you King Tiger TKD! Bows!
I hope everyone had a super Saturday and is excited for A special Sunday!!! Right now I’m at a sleepover so it’s not gonna be too long. This morning I went to Saturday Black belt class and came home and played with my friends all day. I am now currently sleepover with them so I hope everyone will have a special Sunday tomorrow good night!
PS today is National
I woke up for black belt class this morning and felt horrible and I had limited time to get dressed and ready. Once I got to black belt class I had a mentor session. After class we went to take care of our friends dog. I had Chick-fil-A for breakfast. I am now starving as I just realized that is all I have eaten today. We then went to pick up Coopers friend JoJo to go see Deadpool and wolverine. My favorite part was dogpool. He is the best.
Today I woke up and did most of my requirements for taekwondo. Then I went to bbc and did poomsaes and sticks. Then I did the rest of my requirements for teakwondo. Then I went to the pool with my friend. Then I went to her house to have a sleepover. Now I am done for the day.
Today I had drivers Ed we learned to be careful about semi trucks and motorcycles. Then we went to go pick up JoJo to see the new Deadpool and wolverine movie. It was a super funny movie and my favorite one so far. Otherwise it was a boring day.
Stayed up all night to make black belt class got physical requirements on the way. Got home from class and stayed up till 3. Stayed in bed until 10 and did some stuff for school before bed.
Today was the typical Saturday. Woke up went to sparing. My mood was much better today. It was an exhausting day as I spent half the day at TWD. I was not able to get mentor session in because there are 6 of us, I think in the cycle. I did get a mentor. It will be interesting next doing my requirements as we will camping. After my days cut the grass we set up our tent to spray the seems to it will not leak. I help take it apart so it could finish drying in our garage. I have my good and bad days. My body is tolerating requirements well.
Welcome to Week Three.I think I managed to catch up on all of the requirements I let slip last week. Who knows how sore I'll be in the morning. Of course, that'll probably fade out after an hour (or less) passes. Also, I managed to get through a Black Belt class with my one knuckle locked out. One day down and (supposedly) 41 more to go until I only have to wear this thing at night. I really need to find out if I'm allowed to make a proper fist at that point. We'll see how tomorrow's practice goes but - at least for now - it might be awkward but I can hold a short stick and I can hold a staff.
Today was a fairly good day. I went to Black Belt Class this morning. I also got a mentee session in, which was great. I then came home, ate and got ready for a run workout. Today's workout wasn't bad, but I have been having some bad calf pain; still trying to work through it. I then relaxed, did some requirements, and relaxed more.
2 down 10 to go(weeks). Today was the start of week three and i went to sparring and got all my credits. i didnt get a mentor but thats my bad. i did get a mentee. i only need 5 more mentee sessions. Then i went home. not declans house but my house. i did some requirements then had dinner. the i went to run. ive just been chillin and im going to see the wolverine and deadpool movie tomorrow. i hope its good. see you tomorrow.
Today, I went to sparring class in the morning. After sparring, we went to the park for a 1.5-mile run. When we came home from the run, I finished all of my requirements and helped my dad cut the grass. Have a good night.
We drove back from the beach it took a while then I did my exercise then ate dinner watched some Olympics. Good night
Today the Olympics started, and we've been watching them for hours now. I think that the Olympics are that type of thing where you just can't miss it, you need to watch it and support your country when we win and when we loose. Anyway, trying to keep it short today so we can keep watching the Olympics. See you guys tomorrow!
Hello, today I woke up but wasn't feeling hungry so I didn't eat a lot of my breakfast, this is something that I would soon regret. After that I went to Black belt class and it was a Master Evins and I was pretty tired and I felt like I wanted to throw up a little from the kicks because we did so many. After that we went to the gym and did our exercises and it took a while, once we got home me and my brother helped with the grocery's and helped with shopping. Then once I got home we hung out for a while and then once it was 3 PM I was able to play games. We also watched the Olympics and that was fun. I hope everyone is having a good week.
I dint make it to black belt class, but I was able to work with my mentees after class. I was going to stay and help with class, but they already had so many people assisting. I went home to sleep. Today was really about sleeping and cleaning. I treated my mom to dinner cause she going to take care of my dog next week. resting, I’m so tired
During Saturday black belt class, we did our poomsae and stick forms in class. As I winded down at home, I did my requirements and read my book for the essay.
Today I woke up from a sleep over at one of my friends houses and went to work from there. They were great classes and we I enjoyed a lot of sparring and fun stuff like that. After work we went home where I had to do some requirements and take care of some dogs for a bit before we went to one of my friends weddings. It was a wonderful wedding, it was actually at my old church that we had gone to before. It was quick and easy, and we all had a fun time visiting with old friends.
Today I woke up this morning and went to sparring class and did really good, then l helped out in jr tigers to get my assistant credit then I went to the family class and we worked on combo kicks. Last I went to leadership and we got to make up our pommases which was really fun. Last today was a great day and I can’t wait for tomorrow.
I worked only 8 hours last night so I can attend BB class this morning. I am a magnet for bad nights, you see…..gotta make it to class. I was able to get in some noodles and 2 hours of sleep beforehand. After BB class, I had a good session going over staff form 1 & 2 and 1st Dan Specials. I am on my way to work after a pretty decent nap. That’s all, folks!!!
Good afternoon, First I got up and went to my sparring, then I helped out in a Junior tigers class and last leadership (Master Foster did a great job leading that class). I also had to do my requirements when I got home, I found out that today the requirements increased, so that through me off a little bit (and my body was sore from sparring). Then I watched some TV. Have a good day 😀
Today I got up and went to my blackbelt class. We reviewed our poomsaes then did some double stick swalis. After blackbelt, I had my juniors / Littles class. Only two little ones today. Then Master Dege and I had a mentor / mentee session. We reviewed self-defense white through high green. I wrote then down on index cards after asking whete to find them on the KT app. I'm going to be sore tomorrow because I didn't realize that some of our physical requirements went up in minutes, and so I'm trying to play catch up. Since the Olympics are going on, I may try to get more of my required book completed tomorrow and possibly go without my phone for 12 hours...not hard considering I'm not on it all day long....
Today I went to black belt class and it was very tiring because I was already tired and then I helped out in the next class and then I did my requirements.
Today was my first black belt class. (i know i'm very behind) It was like a regular class but long. I got my mentor and did my pre-physical today. I got a pedometer to track my miles and steps so i don't have to go to a track everyday. Today went pretth smooth and i'm doing my journal before dinner for the first time. This is actually my 1 week mark and i feel pretty good about the cycle right now. (i hope that doesn't change) I learned that sparring is going to be on friday now and i am very sad but oh well. Okay i think i'm done.
I've been chugging along with the requirements each day. Black belt class this morning, I thought might kill me. Saturdays seem to be really hard for me. Just trying to take it one day at a time.
Been sick the past few days. Feeling better, hopefully i can get back on track next week.
Hi King Tiger Family. It is Saturday. Great morning BB class. Worked on a bunch of items, especially sticks. Always could use practice with those. Then we stayed and helped with class. I really like instructing the lower belts and help them get ready for the next belt. It is fun to watch them learn and get it. Then when they accomplish it, it is amazing to see their faces. To see that they can do it and they are capable. I think that for TKD there is a bunch is having confidence that you can do it. The rest is practicing the skills and leveraging them in different ways, but once you overcome the fear and see you can do it, then it becomes easier. It was great to see all the BB this morning. Many are testing and working hard on the cycle. Have a great Saturday. Take care.
Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I went to help out with summer camp early in the morning and basically stayed there all day. After summer camp, I changed and helped out with little tigers. I took rolls and falls class, followed by black belt class. We worked on our belt specials, and I finally had the chance to learn number 5 of it. Master Chelley helped a lot with it, since she helped me learn the attacks as well. I also had a mentor session with Master Natasya and she helped me with the minor mistakes. Today, I woke up pretty early and headed to black belt class. We zoomed in and had a great class. We also worked on sinnualies today, which was awesome because it's been a while since I've done those. I am about to finish my assignments for civics. Week 2 is already over!...
Couldn't make classes today and i had to take my son to camp at 1pm and so didn't get to bed until close to 3pm.
I wasn’t feeling well today so I took a break. I will play catchup in the coming days.
I can’t believe it’s already been 2 weeks on the cycle, it really flew by! No classes today, so I stayed home and just did my physical requirements as usual. I’m feeling a little more sore than usual but should get used to it soon.
today I went to jog but it was raining all day so I ran in the rain and then I went to play basketball with my friends. Then I went and did my requirements and then I went an watched a movie, and now I'm going to sleep
Got up early to prep for my "first" Real actually early black belt class. Practiced what i could remember from pma and did my forms before running errands all day. Got home did my last physical requirements and German before bed.
It's already been two weeks and what a two weeks it's been. We've started working with our mentor and learning 2nd Dan 1-step and Special. I hate the way all my movements are so slow this early in learning a self defense. I know I'll pick up speed but testing doesn't seem far enough away to catch it up in time. I went to Urgent Care this morning because I hurt my finger yesterday. They put it in a splint and told me to go to OrthoCarolina after work. Apparently I managed to damage the ligament that runs to the bone at the end of the finger. It doesn't require surgery but it has to be held perfectly straight for six full weeks and then four more weeks at night while it "scabs up" and reattaches. Between the ankle sprain earlier in the year and now this, it feels like something...
I feel like I have a bit of a cool thing going on when I'm on the cycle-i have someone who is my belt rank to practice with when I need to. Self defense are more fun to do and I feel I learn a lot more when you can go up to someone in your house and say "hey, throw a punch at me, I want to do X" and they a)know why you want them to throw a punch, b) they won't actually land it, c) they can give you immediate feedback on how you did, and d) they usually ask you to punch them back. It also helps keep you on track and accountable when you might be tempted to skip it and make up time the next day, because if they walk up and say "hey, do forms with me", "time my kicks", or "let me toss...
Today i was at camp and got all my requirements done like usual. We went bowling today. I kinda walked off and got in trouble with my friends but besides that it was fun. I almost forgot to do my journal until i realized when i was laying in bed. Tomorrow i'm going to my first black belt class and i'm ready. Okay i think i'm done now.
Today was a new day. At first I went to the doctor then I worked on my requirements, then I made my new meal shrimp and pasta. By the way it was delicious but sadly we were late to taekwondo but after black belt class and advance sparing we did our run. After the run we came home and had dinner then went to bed.
So today I woke up pretty late and started to read. I played with my brothers today and then went to TKD for a class assistance credit, bb weekday credit, and a mentor and mentee session. Me and Instructor Nate worked on color belt poomsae and then I worked with Caleb on kicks. See you guys in the morning.
This weekend we are taking care of our friends dog. After class we went over to their house and walked him. The dogs name is Cooper Joe. He is old and did not want to go for a walk. Then when we got home we went and walked our dog Smokey. Then my brother made nachos for dinner.
This morning I woke up and took my drivers Ed class. Today we took a couple of tests on the last 4 chapters we read. They were 16 questions and I am pretty confident I got them right. I had to leave class at 5 to make it to black belt class. After class I came home and walked my friend’s dog. I walked with my mom and little brother. After that we walked our own dog Smokey. I showed them a new route to get some extra miles in. It made Smokey really tired. Then we went to the store to buy stuff for nachos. I made na his for me and my little brother. Then I am heading back over to let Cooper out one last time before bed.
Today, I watched the Olympic games ceremony at 1:30. Then, I finished my requirements and went to my black belt class and advanced sparring class. After the class, I rested and ran for one mile. I will see you on Saturday.
Today i went to advanced sparring and my fello candidate abraham kicked me very hard in the head and nuts. i had my cup on but it was falling out of place when he kicked me and i couldnt fix it unfortunately 👎. but we worked on cancellations and mobility. i had black belt class and it was fun. I only ran one mile tonight. declan made a pasta dinner with shrimp in it. it was good. today was good.
Good evening to all. Another long day of hard work for the cycle complete. Make sure to do everything that you need to do. Don't get caught behind!
Hi King Tiger. Good day today. Work was interesting as usual but got some hiring items in the pipeline. Basically, I need to hire a new group of leaders to help with some Transformation work. I am excited about that. I got my car to the auto body shop for appraisal. Please pray that it can be repaired. Heading back to NYC next week for work. Doing some requirements in the NYC. Great BB class today. Working on belt level items which was awesome. Looking forward to the weekend. Have a great weekend and take care.
Today was a fairly productive day. Started my day off with a swim workout, followed by some requirements. I then went for a run and did even more requirements. After all that I went to Black Belt Class and we worked on 3rd Dan specials (belt) self-defense, which I definitely needed a refresher on. I then came home, relaxed, and now I am here.
Today I woke up this morning and I did some of my 5th grade work so I be ready for fifth grade, after that I did some of my coding and typing. I went running and did my exercises. Then I practiced some taekwondo and reviewing my pommases and self defense. Last I went to taekwondo for my black belt class and advanced sparring and I also got my leadership credit while I was at the sparring class. Last I am very proud that I am on this cycle because I worked hard to get here. I hope everyone achieves their black belt.
Today I woke up to go to the movies and then returned home to do my requirements and read for my essay. Not much else happened, except I participated in rolls and falls and found my missing sparring gear helmet from yesterday's sparring class. I did learn 2nd Dan specials which was new for me since I never learned it until now.
Today when I woke up, my sitter came over and we played, did my requirements at Champions, ate lunch, played some more. When she left I went to Taekwondo and I brought my cake pops to share with the class. This was my "new skill". My sister can make them, but I never have. I made them with vanilla cake and chocolate on top with sprinkles. When I got home I realized I forgot to give them out. Master Natasya put them in the fridge so they will be there on Saturdays class. If you are reading this - come to Saturdays class for a cake pop! See you tomorrow.
Today, was a lot of working out, because in the morning I went to Crossfit to weight lift. Me personally, I love to weight lift, it's always my favorite day. So I did a lot of bench press, and really working shoulders lats and triceps. After that I crashed at home and did some requirements before going to the Dojang, and doing black belt class which was a great class today. Following the Advanced Sparring Class with Instructor Madelynn teaching the class. She does a wonderful job in teaching drills that they did in the Olympics, which is very hard, and why I said a Workout Day. Lot's of strengthening and high cardio, but a awesome class highly recommended.
Today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I did my chores and listen to music. Then my mom turned on the Olympics and we watched the Olympics. Then I played with my dog. Then I watched a little bit more of the Olympics. Then I went to taekwondo and did two classes. Now I’m done for the day.
Went to the pool yesterday then headed to sparing class. Decided to take the day off today for a change of pace and will be back on track tommorow.
I have fallen behind in my requirements which has happened before. Even though I need to get them done, I also need to listen to my body. It is important to let the muscles rest and repair itself. I will be able to pick up again soon. I work tonight and if it is a good night (fingers crossed), I'll be able to fit some things in. Have a good day/night, all!
Super proud of myself....I assisted in two classes back to back, then stayed for my sparring class. Anxiously awaiting my pullup bands, thanks to a fellow blackbelt candidate. Today begins the opening ceremonies for the summer 2024 Olympics, so at camp today, all games and activities will be centered around that! Super excited. Javelin toss( pool noodles), jump rope competition, hula hoop competition, bowling competition (knock down cones) and lots of crafts! With the competitions, I'll easily get my physical requirements in!!! Happy Rainy Friday 🌧
Good morning, hope everyone is doing well. Anyone going to see the new Deadpool movie. Taekwondo in the Olympics is August 7. Cant wait for the ceremony at 1:30. Starting my requirements soon.
Hey guys, today, I'm a little bit beat up because of sparring obviously, but my mom doesn't believe that I did my requirements! I only had my push ups and my run left, but now I need to do them all over again! anyway, I'm not working today, so I should be able to relax more and today should be more chill. Anyway, I hope you guys have a great day and I want all of you to know that you've got this. If I have to do my requirements 2 times in one day, you guys can gets them done easy. Have a good day, bye!
Today I’m at king tiger I’m going to the park and I have to do double of everything for my requirements because I forgot to do it in the morning and I had sparring in the afternoon but today I have time because I don’t have as much things to do.
Hello everyone It is the morning so I don't have much to write about, I haven't even had breakfast. But yesterday I went to sparring and it was fun, once we got home I had dinner and went to bed. bye everyone.
Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. After finishing my requirements and a lot of my assignments, I played a game with my mom and my brother. After that, the rest of the day was easy and simple and we just rested. Today, I woke up pretty early and have already gone on my run. I am about to go take a shower and soon head over for summer camp. After summer camp, I am hoping to take the rolls and falls class, followed by Black Belt class. Hopefully, I can get a mentor or mentee session today since I have a lot to work on. I am hoping to finish my requirements and civics assignments after I come back. Have a wonderful day!
Trying my best to get the requirements done but i am falling behind a bit. My schedule is still all over the place due to the construction in my house.
A lot happened today. After completing what seemed like a terrible attempt to workout, I decided to go shopping for another treadmill. I had managed to break the old one with my recent increase in incessant running. My little minion hurt himself while we were out shopping, and cried a lot. And this really got me feeling melancholic till the end of the day. So much that I could barely get enough energy to write this post.
The majority of my day was spent at a waterpark with some relatives. When I got home, I did some requirements and rested for a little before heading to the dojang to help out with class and take sparring class. It was a very big class today, many cycle people were there.
Thursday is sparring day-well, at least for now. The dojang 's schedule is getting ready to change so we can add Muay Tai, so sparring will move to Friday. Also got a mentoring session in while we were there. I think I need a new pair of gloves along with the stick bag I need to buy for myself. I had forgotten how much the gloves shed when you use them. It's like I'm the soot monster, raining soot and punches wherever I go. My por stick bag has a hole in the bottom, so I have to be careful not to have a stick sneak out like a teenager sliding out of their window meeting their friends after midnight.
Or Thirteen, if you prefer.Today was another busy work day. I was going to try to get some miles in over lunch but right at noon the skies opened up. I did manage to get some in later (I took a late lunch) and once it hit 5pm, it was off to the dojang for helping and then sparring. Still not a big fan of sparring - I'm too methodical and analytical for something that happens that fast. But I'm learning new things so it's all good. But now it's off to bed and back at it again tomorrow.
Today was a nice chill day, because I was able to rest and do my requirements and just hang out and enjoy my family. I did go to get my brothers car inspected though from a super nice guy named Johnny. He does inspections for cars for a living, after that I went home and saw some super cute puppies from next door and hung out with them for a while. Then I went to work which was a pretty long day with a lot of classes for the most part. While we were out the power went out at home and we had to fend for ourselves for food, but everything turned out well.
Got my requirements done early and took a nap until about 4 pm. Practiced some forms before going to the 6:20 class to help out for a credit. Then after than we did sparring class. My THIRD ROUND I had to spar 2 people at once but I think I did ok. After sparring did some work with my mentee and did my German while walking back home to help with the running / walking miles.
Today I woke up late since I did not sleep much while on vacation. I went for a run, which sucked; I felt so bad today, had to stop twice and stretch my calves. I took this as a lesson that even when you are "good" at something you still can have bad days. I then did some requirements before going to a couple of appointments. I then went to sparring where I took a turning side kick to the groin (luckily I had a cup on). I then came home and now I am here.
I was able to get my requirements done early. My knees were feeling pretty tight....more than likely from jumping rope. I iced my knees and took some ibuprofen in preparation for sparring later. That helped tremendously! Afterwards, Instructor Gabe helped me with staff form 2. It is SO long, but I think I will really like it when I get it down pat. Rest up!!!
I woke up late and went down to the pool then went down to the beach and walked 2 1/2 miles then played some games had dinner then played some games of Skip-Bo. Good night
Today i went to camp as always. I basically did class twice because me and a couple of friends did a lot in the morning. I knocked out my requirements and started my day. I'm feeling good about this cycle and i'm getting my mentor Saturday. Still working on my mentee situation. Besides from that i didn't really do anything. Okay i'm done blogging.
Today was a very funny day. Last night Flynn was watching chicken little and then he found one of the most ugliest characters in the movie. Then we just started to die in laughter. It’s been fun with my friend but we get it down when it’s time for requirements.
Today, I finished my requirements before assisting a high belt class. I got both a leadership credit and a class assistance credit. After the class, I ate dinner and ran outside for 1.5 miles. I am considering running outside in the morning instead of the evening. I will see you on Friday.
normal day. did requirements, played games, went to class, and ran. the ac guy came over today. I worked on hapkido for my mentor. my mentee wasnt there so i had to ask someone else.then i ran 2 miles. declan got 18 min i got 22 min.
During the day, I did some requirements, then read my book before going to class for leadership credit and sparring class. After that I played video games and then rested after all the kicking I did. Tomorrow I'm going to see Deadpool & Wolverine premiere day.
Today I woke up this morning and did some of my 5th grade work and some of my typing skills on my computer. Then I did some taekwondo and just reviewing my poomases and self defenses. I ran a mile with my Dad and exercises. Last I went to the jr tiger class to get my assistant credit and went to the senior tiger class to get my leadership credit. And now I need 5 more leadership credit and assistance credit then I have finished those requirements. I will still go and help students.
Today is my birthday I am 10!! Today I woke up, thinking I was getting breakfast in bed But I got pop tarts. At least they’re the brown cinnamon Am I right? Anyways, I had to do requirements I know on your birthday. After requirements, we picked up Caleb to go to dinner, baby! We went to kung fu noodle. I think I’m full but I have Room for ice cream cake Yum Yum Yum! I’m super excited for all my birthday presents. They’re all awesome! Anyway, that was my day. See you later fans!
Today was my brother Ethan‘s birthday first he woke up and gave us a bunch of hugs Then then I gave him his birthday present for me. He loved it then he opened one from the whole Family then we did our requirement we picked up Caleb and went to dinner Then we went to taekwondo and helped out with a class. I almost told everybody that was Ethan’s birthday. After that we did sparring at the end of sparring we got to sing happy birthday to Ethan and Kick Ethan
Hey guys - I went to sparring today and it was fun. We worked on stretch kicks, cupcake kicks, jumps, twist jumps and lots of other stuff. When I came back home I watched Olympic Rugby. It looks awesome, I would like to try rugby. I'm getting ready for bed now. See you at black belt class tomorrow.
Hey guys, today was a very chill day, I played video games with my brothers, drew, and read. I went for a walk and I went to sparring class. I got a leadership 1 and 2 also. I now have both my mentee and mentor now and plan on doing a session with each tomorrow. Goodnight everyone!
Interesting day! Work was not bad but a ton to do. Especially getting back from time off. Trying to get a crown tooth fix today and they need to replace. And someone hit my car in way home today. All is good and everyone was okay. So trials are what make us stronger. I did miss Sparring so will need to figure that out now. Going to do some requirements and move on. Tomorrow is a new day. Take care.
Today I woke up and did my requirements for teakwondo. Then I did my chores and the rest of my school. Then I played with my dog Wesley. Then I played a game with my sister and watch a movie with her. Then I went to teakwondo and did 2 classes. Now I’m doing for the day.
Good afternoon, hope your are all doing well. Lost track of the days, so now I'll just put the date as my title. Hope the rain will stop. Doing my requirements right now.
Good morning everyone! I have just made incredible progress. I used to jump-rope very slowly like 15-25 per minute but now, i can go 50-65 per minute! lots of progress is in the works.
Tired is an understatement. Trying to balance camp, home, blackbelt cycle, classes......going to be a real challenge once school begins. Anxiously waiting my new sneakers and hoping they work.
Today guys, guess what! I get to go to work! Again! It shouldn't be that bad, today I'm working 2:00 to 7:30, and I hope I make it through the summer camp hours. I've already finished my requirements, and I'm now getting ready to play some games, then later head over to TKD. Anyway, I hope your guy's days aren't this long and busy, but I hope you all have a great day and make sure others have one too! Bye!
Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a great day. I finished off a lot of my civics assignments, and I am finally on the last module! Yesterday was also my dad's birthday and we had a lot fun yesterday. His form of fun is to sleep and me, my mom, and my brother to give him a massage. After that, I finished my requirements, and we decided to stay at home instead. Today, I woke up pretty late and my goal for today is to finish all the assignments for my civics class. I really hope my schedule for school comes in today, because it's been getting delayed. After I finish most/all of my assignments, I will meet my requirements. Have a wonderful day!
Finished one of my black belts essays, I was half way finished in the first cycle, so I’m glad I completed it. Especially with the pre-Korean history one I have started in yet. I will probably revamp/edit the others ones I have completed, just because my life has change so much, even from the beginning of the year. I also made a study guide poster of the Korean flag. I worked on my very small garden (two blueberries bushes, and a blackberry) I kind of fell off with consistency taking care of them, so I repotted them and cleaned them up. One of the blueberry bushes looks like a stick in a pot. The other two look much better. I really hope the makeover rejuvenates them.About to go bed, but I’ll wake up an do requirements before I go to work.
More distruptions at home with the construction and i had to get up early so i had very low energy at class tonight. But I'm glad i went.
Black belt class today at North Charlotte. We practiced combinations and poomse. Got some requirements done earlier, still going easy on the muscles.
Today went by very quickly. I got many of my requirements done earlier than usual so I spent some time relaxing. I went to the dojang early to help out with class and get a mentor session in. Then black belt class and a mentee session.
We're a dozen days in. I think this cycle is 12 weeks so... we're 1/7th of the way done? I think I'm almost done wrapping up my current tasks at work (which is good) before I can start in on the big quarterly regression testing (very time consuming). I'm really going to have to get better about making time for my requirements. I'm not having problems with the daily ones but I'm starting to fall behind on the weekly ones (mileage, planks, etc.) Black Belt Class is getting quite big at this point. I know some of it is from the cycle but I know not everyone's there for that. Plus Instructor Courtney came to North Charlotte and we've got some new faces of our own as well. Once of which I have, apparently, picked up as a second mentee. After class we were mentored and reviewed Second Dan special and then...
I went to Master Evins school for Wednesday black belt class. It was a great class, and I'm really glad we worked on our jumping kicks. Besides that, and going to Lake Norman King Tiger to assist with class, I'm kind of tired. After work, my friend wanted to skate for a little bit, so we did. Then I went home to sleep. Then I ran a few errands and prepare for our trip next week. Then Taekwondo. Then I came home and napped some more. I'm a bit more awake now, I think I'm going to clean for a bit. It so easy to get cluttered during the weekday. We moved recently and the bigger space and the decluttering helps alot with not feeling overwhelmed. Just building easier cues that lead to less clutter. Going to make brownies for my partner when he comes home, I promised to do that...
Today was spent mostly traveling. From where we were stating to the airport was about 2 hours and then a 2 hour flight home; followed by an hour to taxi, get our bags, and drive home. Overall, I had a very boring day as I spent most the day on my phone or sleeping during our traveling, but before we left New York we went on a nice 3.5 mile hike in the mud (was surprisingly very fun).
I had my usual full day....not a minute is wasted on the BBC. I met with my mentor and I am feeling better about my bolo form. Also, I met with my mentee and worked on poomsae and self-defense. Afterwards, black belt class led by Grandmaster Evins with plenty of kicks and poomsaes to practice and I was quite sweaty. Peace out!!
Today, I finished all of my requirements after lunch. Then, I attended my black belt class and had my first mentor session. After the class, I ate dinner and ran for 1.5 miles. Have a good night.
