USAT NC 2019 Gold Medalist

T fought today and won Gold at USAT NC. It was held two minutes from our home. It was nice to attend a tournament that was close to home for a change. Here’s some pictures:

Weigh In for USAT NC

T weighed in and made weight for USAT NC. This boy was weighing 63.6 pounds and he has to weigh under 66 pounds for USAT. He’s doing great with eating and drinking healthy to stay in his division. He gets to eat and grow after Nationals in July provided he doesn’t do Presidents Cup in October in Oregon and Las Vegas Open In November. So much remains to be seen when you are playing the points game with USAT. Learning so much and at the same time being frustrated trying to learn it all...LOL!  On a better note though we have been able to make some head way with his schooling to keep it caught up this past week. It’s a lot of work keeping it all balanced. So glad we homeschool or T wouldn’t be able to do all that he does with TaeKwonDo. Have a great night everyone and there will be an update after the tourney tomorrow. 

Friday, Better Known as Weigh In Day at our house!

Happy Weigh In Day!  It’s better known as Friday to common folk...LOL! T fights tomorrow at the USAT NC Tournament. It’s like literally a 2 minute car ride from our house. Thank God for small breaks from all the traveling! T’s been beating up on Bob a ton this week getting ready for this tournament. Hoping to win another Gold medal. He may be fighting the kid he fought last week in GA but first that kid and another kid will fight. T gets a by, because he’s ranked, and will fight the winner. 

Next week we head to Maryland for an AAU tournament. We are going to that one to get more fight time. If he wins great but this one will mainly be for the ring time and to get to know some of the other fighters in his division that he may be facing at Nationals. 

Bob’s looking rough:

Another Video from BBW Sparring Class

T is only in the video up to the 9 minute or so mark but this video shows just how much he’s improved since being with an actual sparring coach and team. Master Nelson took this video.

So we have stayed to watch the remainder of the fights. It’s been educational and we are learning a lot while we watch. Plus we got to watch some fights of fighters we are following. It’s been an all around fun day here in Georgia.

USAT Georgia 2019 - Took Gold

T won Gold here at USAT Georgia today. He will have to fight this kid again at NC next week. Praying he wins Gold again. Wanting to see him go out with a bang in the youth division this year. He’ll be a first year Cadet next year and it will be a ton of learning next year I’m sure. So thankful for all the opportunities he has to fight I. This sport he loves so much. Praying he continues to improve and advance as he moves through the divisions over the years. Here are the first of several posts to come of T’s pictures from his fight today. 

Tucker at The Fetching Post

This weekend is Tucker’s first time back to The Fetching Post since Dexter’s passing. He’s been missing his buddy but also he’s been partly bored. The Fetching Post has been great to send us photos and a video to let us know he’s doing good without his buddy and adjusting well and playing well with the other dogs. It has so warmed my heart to know that he’s found himself some friends to play with. It’s also warmed my heart that they have went to this extreme to make us feel good about his being there without Dexter. I’m sure the boarder collie in the video reminds him of his buddy but just bigger...LOL! 

USAT Georgia Weigh In

T weighed in at 63.93 pounds here in GA today😁. Eating healthy and staying in his weight bracket. No need to cut when you aren’t eating crap in your diet. Now we go get some dinner.
