Private Training Today…

T had a private training with Master Doug today. T is looking really strong and fierce. He’s like a totally different fighter now than he was when he was with Master Wasiu. Master Wasiu taught T a ton of good stuff that T will always have in his toolbox to use when he fights at tournaments and what Master Doug has taught T has added to what Master Wasiu taught T in all the right ways. It’s like there’s been a fusion of what the two coaches have taught T. And when you add in how much T has matured in the last year the difference is night and day. I love the relationship that T has with his coach now though. It really makes me happy to see him happy and growing in a strong relationship with his coach. 

T at Ari’s Yesterday…

T and Ari hung out yesterday.  They have so much fun together. Glad they are such great friends. That makes a relationship even better. I’m sure they both can’t wait until next year when they are allowed to date. Let’s see if they stay together that long though. T watched Ari make a cake. Scot held Sam, Ari’s guinea pig. #1stLike #teenrelationships 

T with His USA TaeKwonDo Shirt and Nunchucks Necklace…

T’s girlfriend, Ari, brought him back a nunchuck necklace from US Open. He also got an extra surprise with a tshirt from US Open too that we got for him. He loves them both. 

Welcome Home!

We were at the airport early this morning to welcome two of  T’s teammates home from their 1st ever US Open Tournament. Even though they didn’t medal we wanted them to know what a great job they did their first time out. 

US Open Results for Team Core…

Team Core took 3 girls two fighting -52kg and one fighting -59kg. None of them brought home a medal from this event but gained valuable experience on an international level. Proud of their effort. They all fought strong. 

In the pic they are walking with our coach Master Douglas arm in arm supporting one another. 

Happy Son’s Day (Yesterday)…

We shared this on social media yesterday but forgot to share it here. 

We’ve been streaming Taekwondo Sparring at US Open in Vegas all day but didn’t want to let this day pass us by without telling our son Happy Son’s Day!  We are so proud of the young man you are today. You are growing up so fast 💨 and more like a man everyday. It’s exciting to watch you grow and mature. The best is yet to come T. We love you to the moon and beyond!

Elvis Has Entered The Building at US Open in Vegas...

Even though we aren't there this year our friends are keeping us updated on things.  Elvis is at US Open this year but I will have to say the real Elvis would have never been carrying anything...LOL! 

Ari and Belle are heading to weigh in and have already done the test scale and they were fine on their weight so now they are in line for their official weigh in.  They had a little fun on the way to weigh in though.

T's New Evo Gear....

 T took his new evo gear out for a test run at training last night.  He loves the gear and can't wait to wear them with his new evo uniform when it comes in.

T's Next Tournament...

T's next tournament will be April 1st in VA.  He has a USAT State Championship there.  He is looking forward to fighting in his new division and getting to know the fighters.  He's learning a lot and growing a lot right now.  Not just physically but also mentally.  It's so cool to be seeing him going through all these changes yet at the same time I miss my little boy.  He's such a great young man though. 

T Loves 🥰🥰🥰 Cryotherapy...

T so enjoys cryotherapy and is so glad to be getting back into the habit of going.  It quickly became one of his favorite things to do last year but we found out that the one we had been going to is closing down so we found a new place that T loves equally as much as he did the other place. He's such a goof ball though🤣🤣🤣.
