Timothy is only 11 years old but has had his most active year to date in TaeKwonDo competing in Sparring and Forms Events! He's enjoyed every moment of it and learn a lot. We wanted to do a highlight page of all he's done and people he's met along the way that have added to his TaeKwonDo experience and have spurred him on to do even greater things with his TaeKwonDo.
In this first picture I did a collage from two separate tournaments that are some of T's favorite picture.
These second set of pictures are from the Atlanta Open that he just went to last weekend. He got to fight up a division since he's moving divisions next year to the next division anyhow. We and his coach felt it would be valuable for him to get some mat time in with the next division to see how he does. He fought one Cadet and beat him. He had no fights in youth. He came home with a Gold Medal. We were proud of the way he was fighting and how much better he was listening to his coach. He still needs to work on some things but we are looking forward to seeing how he does next year. We know it will be a growing year, a year where he learns a lot, and a year where he hones his skill level in sparring.

| Georgia really does a bang up job on their medals! |
These next pictures are from AAU Nationals this year where he brought home a bronze medal for his forms performance. It was his first National Medal and we are looking forward to the day when he brings home his first National Medal for sparring as well. We are so proud of all his accomplishments.
