Sparring Drill 9.16.17

Timothy did great with this sparring drill. He's learning a lot and making great improvements. 

2Cellos Concert

Timothy got to go to the 2Cellos concert with his buddy, Blayden, and Blayden's dad, Mr. Adam tonight. Blayden and Timothy have been friends since they were in preschool together from two years old. And now they take TaeKwonDo together. I believe that they will be life long buds. 

Upcoming Competitions

Timothy is now signed up for both the Kukkiwon Cup on Nov. 4th and the Mid-Atlantic on Nov. 11th. He will be competing in all divisions (Sparring, Poomsae, and Breaking) at Kukkiwon Cup and he will be doing Sparring and Poomsae at Mid-Atlantic. So thankful for Timothy to have these opportunities to compete. Each competition that he's able to compete in gives him more experience. He is always in learning mode these days. It's rare that a day goes by where he isn't training at home and most days it's training at home as well as the dojang. So luv his drive and motivation to become a better competitor.

Sparring Training August 24, 2017

Timothy still has a ways to go. He's learning a lot and sparring harder and better with each class he takes. Plus he's training at home as well. He's still having to learn to block better and not hook his opponents legs because that can get him a possible DQ but a definite gam-jeum which gives his opponent a point. And of course the object is to not do that. In the video below Timothy's opponent hits the floor twice. In situations like that Timmy gets the point(s) for the hit but also gets a point for the opponent falling. WTF (World TaeKwonDo Federation) rules. Check out the video below:
