Belt Test #2 - Sparring

Here is me with my friend Brittney at our recent belt test. Yes, we are still friends even though I knocked her down. Lucky her, her parents take her to Golden Corral after belt tests.

Brittney and I both started Paks this past Spring, and we get to be partners for our belt tests. I also get to see her in the teen classes sometimes on Tuesday nights. And, even though we don't look a like sometimes Master Johnson calls me Brittney...but I don't mind because Brittney is cool!

I want to say "Thank You!" to all of my instructors...especially Master Johnson, Master Leedy, Miss Kim, and Miss Katherine. Morning classes are my favorite because I get to learn new forms and kicks. I'm up to Dol phoon 3! Oops! Master Johnson didn't know I know that form because Nick taught it to me while we were walking around Costco with our moms!

Sometimes in Master Leedy's Wednesday class he turns the whole room into an agility course...that's really fun! But you better "akeei!" or else... =D

Miss Katherine is THE BEST chest-guard tie-er in the world! And Miss Kim ROCKS! (No offense Mr. Tersack!)

Until next time...

Board Break

Doesn't my back pivot look great? This is the third board that I've broken and by far the most fun. A lot of people wonder if it hurts when breaking a board. NO, if you know what you're doing and hit with the correct part of your foot.

End of Summer Festival

One of my favorite things is KARATE. I have been taking classes for almost 6 months at Pak's Karate Academy near my house in Mandarin. On September 13 I will take my second belt test. I am also on the Little Ninjas demo team as a nunchucker.

Here I am during a demo I was in with the Little Ninjas demo team last Saturday at the End of Summer Festival...one of my instructors, Master Leedy, is holding the board for me...
