Team Training Tonight

Master Wasiu had lots to say to the kids about improvements in how they fight. Hoping T was listening closely and took what he had to say to heart and will make necessary changes in how he fights so that he can continue to get better and fight better when he goes to tournaments. TaeKwonDo (TKD) Sparring is hard work. T has learned so much and it hasn’t even been a year yet that he’s been with Carolina Kicks. He still has so much to learn as he grows in this sport. He’s really trying to focus and learn and grow as a TKD fighter. He’s learning so much at such a young age and growing up so fast. It’s a lot for a 10 year old to take in and he’s doing the best he can for his age. As he gets older and matures he’ll hone in on things more and more and become a much better fighter than he already is. I’m excited to see what his future will be in this sport. He loves TKD so much.

Our Home away from Home

When T and I left for Matthews earlier today Tucker tried to get in the car and go with us. That dog is going to miss his T.   T and I are back in Matthews now, unpacked, and settling in for our stay while T trains. We had an early dinner and he is ready for training tonight with the team. 

Matthews Bound until the 14th

We leave in the morning to head to Matthews until the 14th for training.  After this weekend T wants to correct some things so he can get better and grow as a good competitor in this sport.  Always a work in progress.  There's always things to improve on.  Tucker sure will miss his T but at least he will have Scot to hang out with...LOL!

T’s 2nd Love

Besides fighting T loves riding his dirt bike. Unfortunately he didn’t get the chance he wanted today to ride because we need to get a new tire for his bike and that won’t happen until tomorrow. 

Washington DC

The team ended the day by going to DC for a visit. I don’t know where the kids get their energy. They were still going strong when we got back on the Metro to go to our cars at the end of the day...LOL! 

We got to see the Cherry Blossoms. 

AAU Maryland State Qualifier 2019 - Fight Video

Color Guard at AAU Maryland

They started off the day right with the color guard coming in with the flags.

AAU Maryland Qualifier 2019

T took Silver today. Fought good. If the match had of been scored right T would have won. Every challenge T’s coach did was shot down but upon reviewing the video T got every shot the coach challenged. So proud of our kid. Also, They honored GMaster Cann with a moment of Silence and the poster in the pics below. Love the picture they chose of GMaster Cann. It’s one that I took of her last summer before her cancer diagnosis. #gonebutneverforgtten #alwaysremember #proudparents

 

Pics from USAT NC last weekend

Sorry for the lateness of this post. I finally got around to looking at the pics from last week. Landon and T are going to be a good challenge for one another in the years to come as they grow in this sport together. T is in the Blue gear. Here are some pics:

USAT SC is On!!!

We found out on our way to Maryland today that USAT SC is now on. It’s going to be on May 4th. Woohoo!!!  We are so glad we took the gamble and decided not to go to USAT PA and put the funds towards training and now with USAT SC being close to home that will be a much easier trip. We are all so excited!!!
