T had a tough 2nd match but he learned a lot from it and that’s always a win. Here’s the video of the second match.

Bronze Medalist

T brings home Bronze from the tournament. 3rd place out of 6 fighters. He fought fantastic first match. We haven’t seen him fight like that since he won the Grand Championship at the Kukkiwon Cup Championship.  Now he figures out what he needs to do to keep how he fought his first match in every match. Once he can do that he will be unstoppable. I will post a video once I’m home and I have better internet speed to upload the video. 

AAU Florida Championship Tomorrow

Made weight. Now for fight day tomorrow. T is looking forward to having the opportunity to fight and to learn tomorrow. New division brings opportunities to learn a lot so he can move forward. Sad part is it’s his second year in the division but first year of actually getting to really fight in the division and learn who his opponents are because of COVID. 

Before and After

Before picture at Christmastime and after picture just taken today. Before picture is when T was training at home through Zoom and the after picture is with him being in person with his team and coach. 

It’s such a huge difference. T is training like crazy now and will finally be competing this weekend in a tournament. His first tournament in over a year. So stinkin’ excited for this kid and his entire team. 

Such A Busy Week

Training camps are always so busy. Lots of training, doing schoolwork, and training some more. I was able to take a couple of shots today with my phone. Not the best pics ever but I didn’t have my actual camera with me. 

The team is training so hard. They are so excited about fighting this weekend. It’s their first fight since US Open Feb-March of 2020. Over a year since they fought last.   

Mini Training Camp @ WOW TaeKwonDo

T and I are spending the week in Waxhaw, NC this week for training. It’s the last push getting the kids ready for the tournament in Florida on the 10th. T is so looking forward to being able to finally compete again. He’s spending much needed time with his coach and teammates. I’m getting to have some extra time to read and study while he trains. Mrs Donna has been incredible by letting T and I stay in her home for the week. I feel so much better about that then staying in a hotel. I’m not at the sessions this week so there probably won’t be any pictures unless I can sneak in and get some. Have a great week everyone!!!

Last Saturday’s (3/27/2021) In House Tournament

We’ve been doing in house Tournaments to get the kids ready for their first competition in over a year. T s looking forward to finally being able to compete again after over a year of no sparring competitions. I was able to get this great shot of T actually landing one of his sparring combinations on one of his opponents at this tournament. 

We are looking forward to seeing him move forward and make strides as competitions start to get back into full swing. 

T Update

Over the weekend T ate lots of  veggies and apples. Having ate so much it needed his tummy up big time. He dealt with diarrhea that led into some severe gas pains. Had him checked out and the doc said he’s full of gas. So we’ve been on a mission to alleviate the pain from it. From Tums to Gas Ex to Culturell this kid has all he needs to get thing moving and to give him relief. Plus he’s working out daily as well and that should help also. We took a walk with him on Tuesday evening and I got these pictures. He’s changing so much these days and growing a lot. It won’t be long now and he’ll be taller than me. My little man is no longer little😢. Time with him in our influence is growing shorter and shorter. Before ya know it he will be all grown up. I love this kid of ours so much. Life is never boring with him😁. 

New TaeKwonDo Shoes

These are T’s favorites to wear. He didn’t tell us his other ones were too small and just kept wearing them🤦🏻‍♀️.  The ones on the left are the new ones and the ones on the right are the old ones. Quite a bit of a difference and he won’t be in the new ones for very long because he’s got very little growing room and I’ll be having to get the next size up...LOL!
