Taekwon Do testing!

I can't say enough good things about Taekwon Do! It has been a great experience for Morgan and I think Becky would agree that Anna has benefited from it as well. Morgan Tested for Her green stripe and Anna for her yellow stripe. FYI you start as a white belt then yellow stripe, yellow belt, green stripe, green belt, blue stripe, blue belt, red stripe, red belt, black stripe, black belt. I am not sure how you progress from there but the instructor, Mr Sakownin, is a level 4 black belt. They both did an awesome job!

These are all the students who tested on Saturday (Not everyone tests. You only test if you think your ready.)Mr. Sakownin starts every testing with a breaking of boards. (last time he broke one with his fist and one with his foot, It was awesome!!)Anna bowing to Mr. Sakownin.Sparring!! WOO HOOO GOOD JOB ANNA!!!!Morgan had to spar with Decker...he is 13...she is 9She had no problem with the age difference

It wasn't totally one sided, He got a few good shots in too!

Sparring is supposed to be non contact, but as you can see contact happens! Especially at tournaments. The only was to score at a tournament is for your kick or punch to be close enough to have made contact, so its inevitable. You do wear sparring equipment at tournaments, so the contact isn't that bad (in the younger belts.... in the older belts LOOK OUT!! )

Morgan was Awesome! Mr. Sakownin usually doesn't say anything during the testing, but during hers he told Decker he needed to fight harder, and after he asked what I feed her.... He said she was after blood! Way to go Morgs! YOU ROCK!!!
