Pretty nice day today. We had a sub in first period so I could really just relax and take it easy in school today. At BB class we were able to work on the written test and confirm our answers. When I got home, I ate some Dairi-Os and recognized one of my friends working there.

On Fridays we just have black belt class and sparring. Before and after the classes we helped the candidates find their answers to the written test coming up. March feels really close and that means the end of this spring cycle. Making sure that I'm on track and not lagging behind. In class we focused on poomsae memorization and kicking conditioning.

Today at school was pretty smooth sailing. I guess the teachers were looking forward to the weekend as well. After school, I went to King Tiger for a mentee session. We worked a lot on self defense. I came home shortly after and started doing requirements. Then I went back to King Tiger for class and a mentor session. We worked a lot on belt self defense, especially number 5. After class, I came home and got to the requirements I could not get to earlier. I got some homework to do over the weekend, that's my plan for tomorrow. - Lucas

Pretty cool day. Did pretty much the same as everyday for the first part of it, then my friend stayed at my place for a while and helped me with my self-defense and kicking. Then I went to class early to study the written test. Then I also stayed later to study more for the written test. That’s pretty much it.

Today was pretty normal overall. School went by in a blur, but I finished my work and caught up on my missing assignments. I practiced a few poomsaes and some self‑defenses, then finished my requirements for the day. I also made dinner later on. I didn’t feel great in the morning, but I’m feeling much better now. Just a steady Friday. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Today was very busy. I went to school early just like every Friday for art club. I am working on a mural that I designed with my friend and we are actually making a lot of progress! I’m so excited for it to be done 😄 School was otherwise pretty normal. This week has been busy with tests, etc. so it was good to have a chill day. This whole week I have also been helping out at color belt testing which was a lot of fun! Today I did rolls and falls and BBC after school. When I got home we ate my favorite dinner ever: wings and potato salad :) It was so delicious. Anyway now I’m relaxing before a busy weekend!

Fun day! I finished all my work in school, so when I came home, I chilled a bit. I then finished all my physical requirements and was proud of myself. I also had to go early to Taekwondo to finish my requirements there. I had a BBC Weekend class, a Sparring Class, a Mentor Session, and a Leadership Credit 2, which I was happy about. I just came back home from Taekwondo, and I have to go to my friend's house for some reason. I think tomorrow is Day 50 of the cycle, which I am happy for.

What a great week for my workouts!  I felt the strongest this week because I did 2 pull ups and when I started this journey, I could not even do 1.  This is a huge accomplishment for me and I really can't wait to see how many I can get to by the end of cycle.  Hoping next cycle Cenzo will be able to join me because he graduated to high red yesterday and broke that board on his final attempt.  Overall a great week!

In the evening I went to work at the ninja gym. I haven't been back to work for a couple of weeks since I needed to help at the dojang with my dad being gone. I missed the gym and the students there, even though they frustrate me sometimes. Afterwards I had my class to teach and also ended up teaching adult class since there was pmaa testing going on in our dojang. I rarely ever teach the adults and I like teaching them. Its a smaller class and they all catch on easily so Master Foster likes to have them practice some advanced drills no matter their belt.

Day 46: Today was another sick day for me. I stayed home from school and mostly rested and exercised and sleep. I went to play chess with my father and won because I have been practicing chess for 2 years! My mom also made me mac and cheese. It was yummy. Then I ate dinner and went to bed.

Today was a fine day. I woke up fine, got to school, and got work done. Me and my friend were working on the next episode of our show. The animation is almost done, but we still have a little more to go. In math, we did the same thing as yesterday. Reading was the same. For lunch, I had a lunchable. For recess, I played soccer, like always. For intervention, I worked on the show. For science, I learned that I was part of 4 people that got mastery on our test yesterday, so while the other people were doing test corrections, me and my friend were working on the show. For encore, we learned more about weather. After school, I went to taekwondo, lead ups in the warmups, and got a mentor session in after. After all of that, I went to swim.

Lots of stuff going on tonight! I went to school and came home with about an hour of homework. I went running and started my other requirements. It was reallly nice to have a break from sparring this week (LKN KT has color belt testing)! I've been working ahead on my requirements to have a break this weekend while I go camping and thats been going ok. I also had to pack for my camping trip tonight because I have about an hour tomorrow at home before I get in the car. My dad made burgers and fries for dinner tonight that were delicious! Tomorrow is my last day of no sweets and I'm so excited!! I hope everyone has had a great week. If you are sick or injured I hope you feel better soon and get to rest over the weekend! ~ Peyton

Today was a normal school day. After finishing up my requirements, I headed to taekwondo. I led kicks and punches, then worked with the green belts on their kicks and their belt‑level poomsae. After that I had my mentee session with Lolitta; we focused on Chil‑chang and Hapkido Number 1, so basically her belt‑level material instead of lower‑belt stuff today. I wrapped up the day by reviewing my Bo‑Cho‑Dan special with Master Weeks. Overall, just a normal Thursday. Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle. - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷

Today I woke up and went to school. Was not looking forward to it because I knew I had two major tests back to back in my first two classes. My 4 hours of studying last night paid off because I got a 97% on my history test. I am still waiting to hear back from math. The rest of the school day was smooth sailing. After school, I came home and started doing my requirements. Since there was no sparring class this week due to colored belt testing, that left me with a couple of hours to relax. Remember, strength does not come from winning against your struggles. Strength comes from facing your struggles and deciding not to give up. - Lucas

Another night of color belt testing, it went well.  There were a few moments where the student was nervous and had a case of the yips but a little direction or encouragement and they moved on. That's something to remember, your instructors and masters know you at tbis point...if you just make a mistake or are nervous, they can tell. Conversely, if you haven't prepared or simply don't know and are watching others...they can tell. So can your fellow testers. Everyone gets nervous or a little too hyped, just make sure that you have a foundation of strong work and lots of practice. I most definitely get the yips...working on relaxing those nerves. Have an excellent Thursday!

After classes two of our candidates Sid and Brayden wanted to work on their creative form. We did a mentor session where they showed me what ideas they wanted to implement in their form and I would give suggestions if they needed it. They ended up with a good start and some good ideas on what types of things they want to put in the form and it was a lot of fun. I told them to go home and practice what they have and spend some time adding a little more to it.

Not Much

School was alright. I didn't have the best day, but it wasn't terrible. Again, it was just a bunch of reviews or other stuff. I went to the track outside for PE, so I got my mile done there, but I was a little bummed because I brought my Basketball shoes instead of running shoes, so my shoes are now dirty. In Spanish, we played a game to get ready for our test tommorrow which I am a little worried about, but I think I will be fine. When I came back from school, I finished the rest of my physical requirements, ate some food, and then finished my homework. After that, I went to D-Bat for about 2 hours, and my arm hurt for a bit. Once I came back, I took a shower and then ate dinner. I just finished my dinner, and I am about to go to...

Today was completely packed. I woke up at 4:30 to go running before school. I usually run 4 miles before school on Wednesday. When I was right around the two mile point, I had to stop running because for some reason suddenly felt very nauseous. I do not know why this happened, but my body did not agree with something I ate because I completely lost my breakfast into the toilet. I didn't really feel sick after that incident so I got back outside and ran another 2 miles to complete my run. After that, I went to school. Nothing nothing crazy happened at school, just school. When I came home, I started and finished my requirements. Then the rest of my evening was spent studying for a math and history test tomorrow. I spent about 4 hours studying, I am now thoroughly exhausted. - Lucas

Today was a good day. School was pretty boring although I was able to leave early after 3rd period where I went to the doctor to help with my chest and foot pains.

With that clarity I was feeling good and came home early so I ran 3 miles while it was feeling nice around my neighborhood.

Today school was async, so it was pretty easy to finish up the work for that. The pain that lasted for the past one week finally went away, so that felt nice. Afterward I headed to taekwondo. I had a mentor session with Master Weeks first, then helped with the Senior Tiger class where I led kicks/punches and worked specifically with a blue belt and a high blue belt with their poomsae and self-defenses. After a while we moved into sparring which was a usual routine, and then in Black Belt class we went over Yuk‑chang, had another mentor session and did Hapkido 1–3 with Aiden :> Overall, just a normal Wednesday.

Color belt testing went well tonight. One of our white belts was so nervous and had been struggling with moving his left leg...remembering to move that leg instead of his right or both when moving into cheryeot or joombee. He did so well! Super proud of him and loved how proud he was of himself. It's easy to forget sometimes that at one time we were all white belts who struggled or yellow belts that always moved the wrong foot when turning in Il Jang. And also to forget the joy of figuring out your poomsae or that new kick. We have to do a lot of work and requirements to get to where we all are, make sure that you let yourself feel the joy of it too. Happy Wednesday tomorrow!

I had a decent day today. When I went to school, I didn't do much hard work, except for some review. I did get some homework that will take me some time, so that was kind of annoying, but that's okay. We also had a choice day in PE today, so that was really fun. I didn't do much in Spanish either. When I came back for school, I ate some food because I was hungry and then finished some of my homework, but not all. I then went to Taekwondo to help out with class because I am kind of slacking with "Leadership 1 Credits." I also got a mentee session in, so it was a pretty productive day. I just came back home and finished my physical requirements. I also have to finish the rest of my homework and then have a class later.

Today was a regular day at school. Taking a study hall this year is really paying off because I usually complete homework in my study hall and not my evening which is used for physical requirements. When I came home from school, I jumped into the daily requirements. Soon after, I worked really hard on my creative form again. I ended up practicing in my backyard because there is a lot more space to try things out. I am planning to go to bed early tonight so I can wake up energized for my run tomorrow morning before school. - Lucas

Arvaan's Diary - Day 44 Of Black Belt Journey

Day 44: Today was a busy school day because of all the work we had! At school, I had two homework passes, which I used to cancel my homework for the week. Once I came home, I started bicycling in rounds 5 times in only ten minutes. I also ran for the time being, so I could save my time! Then, I did my exercise and practice, which was not too hard. I also had a dictionary I got on day 42, so I read the vocabulary words and it was fun! Then, I ate lunch and played dead rails! I like all the updates they put while I was gone. After that, I ate some batter-made food which was a Indian type. It's called Idili! I ate some dinner after that and brushed my teeth. I read my dictionary one more time before going to bed, too. I finally went...

Back at it!

After a long week of feeling tired and unmotivated, I pushed through over the weekend and finally feel like myself again. I’m especially excited for this week because my kiddo is finally testing for High Red. He has worked so hard, and I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Busy classes today, last day before three days of color belt testing. Lots of good work today, even with students who aren't quite ready yet.  And reviewing with others who are. Had a session with my mentees working on Hapkido and planned out our next session for some more Hapkido, the forms specifically. I also worked on Third Dan self-defenses in class tonight with Instructor Rob and Master Chelley. Lots of good work today, which is great because I am very sore from our poomsae class on Sunday. Two words : stability ball. Shout to Ms. Marina-- she rocked it!

With the days getting warmer I made sure to spend a good amount of time outside today. Running feels so much better now that its not so cold. For classes I taught one of the junior tigers and my brother taught the other. They were both good classes and I like the change. I'm definitely more comfortable teaching senior tigers but junior tigers are a lot of fun too.

Today was boring, all I did was sit at home all day until it was time to go to TKD for a mentee and mentor session. Then I went home and did my requirements.

2/16/26 Presidents’ Day.

Another productive day today. I woke up and thankfully had no school, so I didn’t have to wake up at like 6:30. School is an alright place to be, I don’t like getting up early, but it’s fun to be there sometimes. Anyways I had breakfast, and ran 2.5 miles around the neighborhood. Then I relaxed for majority of the day, getting my requirements in and then going to taekwondo where I assisted and took class. That’s it for today

Journal #34 - 2/16/2026 Lalitha

Today was kind of weird because I couldn’t tell if I was feeling better or worse; the pain kept coming in waves, so it was just… confusing. But I still finished my requirements. After that I went to PMAA, then helped with the Senior Tiger class. Later I had my mentor session where we went over Tae Kwon Il and a few other poomsaes. Overall, just a normal Monday. Happy Presidents Day too! Hope everyone’s doing well, and good luck with the rest of the cycle.  - ⟭⟬ Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷ ♪(^∇^*)

Cool day

Today was a cool day. I woke up fine, no motion sickness, and well rested. After I woke up, I went to iFly to start my day. I have not been to iFly in 1 and a half months. I did good today at my lesson. I did a solo high flight, side slides, and entering and exiting the wind tunnel solo. It was fun doing iFly today. After that, me and my mom went to cracker barrel for brunch. I had pancakes and eggs at cracker barrel. After that, I just hung out at my house until I had to go to taekwondo. I help out with the juniors, I got mentored, did all my requirements, and did a high belt class. My mentee was not here tonight, so I guess I just have to find another one for now until she comes back. After that, I had dinner at...
