T Visiting Grand Master Cann’s Gravesite

T insisted all day today that he had to visit her gravesite because he missed the graveside service because of  a TaeKwonDo Competition. She would’ve wanted him competing. He honored her well at the competition. And him getting to visit today brought some much needed closure for him. 

New Haircut

T’s new haircut. He’s always gotta be stylin...LOL! #swavebarberlounge #LaMeek

Health Update

I have finally turned a corner this week with all this crud I’ve had and am feeling so much better. I still have a little bit of crud going on and when I say little I mean like a tiny bit. We fly out Tuesday for the US Open Tournament in Vegas. T’s first time to the big show. We are all excited. Praying he does great at this tournament and shocks the socks off all his opponents in the process. It would delight us to no end if he were able to bring home a medal from this event. It’s a really tough event so we will see. Either way we’ll know how much harder we’ll have to work to prepare for next year. Win or learn he’ll be earning valuable ranking points. He’s improved so much in his sparring since last year this time and improves even more with each training session he does. We are so proud of all he’s accomplishing. Such a well rounded kid. He loves God, is a good student, can play guitar, and he loves TKD and especially sparring. Looking forward to all this fight season holds for him as he continues to train and get even more better with each passing month leading up to Nationals in July. Pray we all stay healthy as we support our son on his TKD journey to reach his goals.

GA AAU Qualifier Forms 2019

Here’s a video of his Forms. I was surprised when he got Gold because he messed up a little doing his Forms. I was expecting Silver from the judges but because he did the Form for his belt level and the other kid didn’t is why he got Gold. 

Yesterday’s Training

Timothy is learning a lot in such a short period of time along with doing his schooling. He is doing better everyday at mananging it all. Here’s a snippet of a training video I took from yesterday. 

Training This Week

T is fixing to start his last week of training before US Open in Vegas. He’s working hard. He really wants to medal at this event. This is the big show and the competition is tough. Medaling at an event like this is a very big deal. Pray T is able to accomplish this goal. Win or Learn he will be earning valuable ranking points. 

Partial Team Picture

Some of the team members had to leave early on when they were done with their events. These are the ones that were there until the end.
