T is really hoping to attend this event. We await the final word from his coach before we start planning for it. If he gives the thumbs up we will be off to Vegas!!!

Georgia Southeast Open TaeKwonDo Championship 2018

T brought home Gold today at the tournament. His last tourney for the year. We start over fresh in January. Now it’s time to work even harder and get even better. 

Waiting For The Sparring Portion

T loves being with his team. They are having a great time. 

GA This Weekend

T's next tourney is in GA this weekend.  He fights on the 3rd.  Keep him in your prayers as he competes.  Pray that he's focused and that he does well against his opponents.  The big decision of  being able to go to the US TKD Open is hinged on how he does at local tournaments because they are building him up for the main event of the US TKD Open in the January/February time frame.  It's vitally important that he does well at every event he does from this point on.  2019 is going to be a pivotal year for him as a fighter as it's his last year in the youth division.  His coaches are looking for him to go out with a loud bang in 2019.  They are also getting him ready for his first Cadet year in 2020.  Lots of eyes are on these kids because they are our possible 2024 Olympians.  To be the best of the best you must train train train!!!  And that's exactly what we are doing for T right now.  We have him with the right trainers but he has to put in the work and go for it.  We can open the doors but he has to go through them and accomplish his goals. So please keep him in your prayers.  Life is crazy right now but we wouldn't have it any other way.  We love supporting our boy to accomplish his dreams.  Here's a couple of pictures.  The first one is of him training with Master Hama and the second one is a quote that I've shared with T.  He may be only ten years old but to have a goal like the Olympics you have to mature at a young and go for the dream and put in the time and hours.  That's what our boy is doing.  Have a blessed rest of your day.
