Another Training Day for T'Money & HVAC Update

We are fixing to go do his normal Saturday sparring training with some other kids who are joining us to get some extra training time in.  T'Money's looking forward to sparring with some different kids.  He's getting more and more serious when it comes to all aspects of his training and it's showing.  His instructors have been impressed with all his improvements.  And we found out that he can do light head contact at State Championships this year which he wasn't allowed to do last year.  He is so beyond excited!  He has gotten quite good at doing headshots.  And his taller opponents never expect it of him.

T'Money loves this picture!

Now the HVAC Update:
It got up to 83 degrees yesterday which made the house unbearably hot.  We haven't been able to use the heating side of the HVAC system because it went out on us so we've been using our baseboard heat/space heaters instead to get us through the winter months before replacing the unit.  With it getting so warm yesterday we decided to take a gander and see if the AC side of the HVAC unit worked and to our surprise it did.  It was so nice to get the house cooled downed from the hot day.  It was like a sauna in the house.  But get this, the temps dropped so much last night that, yes you guessed it, that we had to turn off the AC and turn back on the heat but that's North Carolina for ya.  The only State I know where you can experience all four seasons in one day...LOL!

Regular TKD Class Tonight

Timothy is getting so much better with his kicks and his instructors are taking notice of it too. 

2nd Poom/Dan Certificate on it’s way to us from Korea!!!

Training Workout at Home

T’Money trains hard at home too. I sure wouldn’t wanna be on the other end of this Kick!!!

T’Moneys Medals

We've started a GoFundMe page for T'Money for Nationals!  Here's the link to that page:  Send T'Money to Nationals.  If we get him branded between now and then this won't be needed but from what I'm being told it will more than likely be after Nationals before he gets approached to get branded but we are making all the efforts now to make his presence known in the Social Media World so don't be surprised if all of a sudden you see T'Money with his own social medial page because it will be there for branding purposes only.  And only family and friends we know really well who don't post bad stuff on their social media pages will be allowed to be friends with him.  Just trying to be real because he's still a child and I want to keep tabs, as much as possible, on what comes before his eyes to see and read.  

New Gear

New arm, leg, and head gear has been ordered for T’Money!  We had an anonymous financial giver to help make this happen for him. He is beyond excited and grateful!!! 

Be praying with us that we are able to get T'Money branded because when we are able to do that we will also have financial backing for all his tournaments.  And when he becomes part of a national team that will bring all kinds of goodies his way as long as he promotes the brand(s) he wears. Having him branded will take a lot, if not all, of the financial burden of gear costs, tournament costs, and traveling costs off our shoulders.   

In the meantime we are so appreciative of those who step forward who see the potential of this kid and help him with things that he needs to make his dreams come true!  We have such amazing people in our lives!  

Tonight’s Training

Here are some pictures from tonight’s training session. T’Money is working hard towards his goal and we are fine tuning when we get home by having him watch the training videos we take. 

Happy Valentine's Day

Today we are celebrating the holiday and taking a day off from training.  We are gonna spend it as a family by going to a movie and out for dinner.  Nothing fancy but just spending some quality time together on this special holiday.  We always want to remember that our love for one another comes first!

Training Never Stops

Came home from training and he did this. He has gotten quite good at doing these. He’s getting stronger. #roadtonationalsjuly2018

Pictures from Training at JINHO Martial Arts Academy

T’Money had a great time today with his new friends. Here are some pictures. The kid he actually spars with at the end of the pictures was probably 12 years old and almost 100 pounds. Tough kid and T’Money held his own with him even though the bigger kid won the match. 

The guy in the background is Master Doug who invited him to the Dojang to train after he saw him spar at the Referee Seminar yesterday. This guy is a an awesome instructor. Love the opportunities T’Money is getting to train with some really great people.
