Training Tonight at Core TaeKwonDo

Scot got some good video of tonight’s training session. T is looking better all the time. Between training with Master Doug at Core in the evenings during the week, with Master Wasiu in private training in the mornings during the week, and with the team at WOW on some weekends T is looking much much better. So much changing is going on as T matures and grows in this sport. Enjoy the video. 

Comparison of Day 1 of Braces to Yesterday!

Dinner Out w/ Momma

We took momma out for dinner tonight. She’s doing so much better with her walking. Sometimes she gets too excited and moves faster than she should but overall she’s doing great. 

She’s, however, had to deal with vertigo. She’s taking meds for it. Hoping the meds do what they need to do to get her past the vertigo. 

T Doing What He Loves

This was taken yesterday. T is always so serious when he’s doing any TaeKwonDo training.  He told us a long time ago that there’s no smiling in TaeKwonDo…LOL!  He’s so happy not to be required to have to wear a mask anymore. He said, “I can breathe better now.” He loves his Daedo gear😊. #daedo #taekwondolife #growinguptoofast

New Thicker Wires

T got new thicker wires put on his teeth today. They seemed to be very pleased with how he’s taking care of his teeth. 

InBody Scan

T got an inbody scan done today and here are the results. It basically told us what we already knew and that is that T has lots of muscle mass. His weight is normal for his body. He has very little fat, less than 10%, on his body. His body coach asked that we do this scan so that he can tailor his workouts for his body type. 

Yard Work This Far

We drove around so Scot could show a video of f all we’ve done on the property since Wednesday. 

And we’ve just put a small dent into all the truly needs to be done. 

T’s New Work Boots

T’s big feet in his new work boots so he can help with the yard work on the property. He needs to grow into his feet…LOL🤣🤣🤣!

Yard Work Continues

We’ve been getting so much done and it’s looking so good. We have two more huge piles of brush to burn 🔥.  We did this yesterday. 

Since we stayed home from training this weekend we are taking the opportunity to get stuff in our yard taking care of. We started on Wednesday and we’ve burned two huge piles already. This has been needing to be done for so long. It will help our lawn guys greatly and our yard will look so much better and not so overgrown on us. A little more gets done each year. Gaining more of our yard back a little at a time. 

Core Sparring Training 3.17.2022

Since I haven’t been able to attend sparring training because I need to be with mom right now Scot has taken more videos so that I can see what all T is doing and learning. Here’s Thursday Nights video of training. I forgot to share it with you then. Enjoy watching it. 

We are so thankful that T can train at Master Doug’s school, Core, when he’s home during the week so that he can have bodies to move with. 

T does privates through video calls with Master Wasiu during the week in the mornings then trains on weekends with Master Wasiu and the team when we are able to drive down there. We were going every weekend but have had to pull back because of the fuel prices. We just can’t afford to put $200 in our tanks every single weekend for a round trip down to Charlotte for training. I mean we are talking $800 a month just for fuel to go down there and then there’s our food cost. We are so thankful we’ve been able to stay with a friend or there’d be a hotel expense added to the cost too. Sometimes you just have to draw a line and say that’s too much and this was it for us. That money can pay several of our bills for a month. I just couldn’t logically get past that in my mind and be ok with spending that kind of money. So T will go down once or twice a month to train with his team for now. I’m hoping and praying that either the fuel prices go back down or our business picks up so much that we can afford the extra fuel cost to take T for training with the team. 

So just so you can get T’s schedule straight in your minds here’s what it looks like: 

Breakfast

Master Wasiu privates 10-Noon M-Th via video call

Lunch

School for 2-3 hours M-F

Body Coach Workout for an hour M-Th 

Dinner

Traditional TaeKwonDo training at BBW M, T, Th @5

Core Sparring Training w/Master Doug T & Th 6:30-8

Team Training F @ 6-9

Team Training S @ 10-2

(Team Training when we actually travel down to Charlotte)

Once he gets home in the evenings he gets to play his VR game for a couple of hours. This schedule shifts somewhat on days when we have appointments to go to or other things that need doing. But that’s basically what he does during the week. He stays crazy busy and it keeps us hopping but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
