T-Money’s Fight at KATU Championship Today

Here’s the video of T-Money’s fight at KATU today. And this was after not having much sleep because of coughing up phlegm most of the night last night. So proud of this kid for getting out there and fighting hard even when he wasn’t feeling well. 

KATU TaeKwonDo Championship 2018

My silly boy is awaiting his award which we heard they may have ran out of. He’s upset about that because they were giving out swords as their prize. He’s still not feeling great. Wishing he could be home now so he can rest. He did great for a kid who was up and down all night coughing up mucus from his lungs. This momma got maybe 30 minutes of sleep last night. Gonna crash when I get home. So ready to be home chilling for the evening.  Timothy got Bronze. This time we knew going in he wouldn’t do as well because he’s overcoming a bad cold.

As usual the other boys tower over Timothy.  That's ok he still fought hard.

Walter is a heavy weight (weighing between 90-100lbs), Jonah is a middle weight (weighing between 77-88lbs), and Timothy is a fin weight (weighing 66lbs and under).  Timothy's actual weight is 61lbs.  Just wanted you to see what he was up against.  To have come close to beating Jonah shows just how strong our boy really is! And to have fought sick and still come so close to beating Jonah also speaks volumes!  

This is what they gave him since they ran out of the swords.

Crashed on the car ride home because he's still not feeling well.  He did great today though!

USAT and AAU Collaboration

Timothy is not only competing in USAT events but also AAU as well. He's been excited about the opportunity to do both. And today we saw this press release and wanted to share it with you:

This is a major deal for all competitors in this sport! We were so excited to read this press release. We have a lot going on as we plan these competitions ahead. The two National events being the big ones. We are possibly going to be flying from one National event to the other in July.

This is raw footage. No editing. It’s over 8 minutes long because I didn’t stop rolling the recording. Enjoy!
