1. Before the grading starts, made a few jumps…

2. One of them surely had the wrong kick…

3. Only if the kick was stronger… I would have captured the perfect shot.

9. Her sparing mate was not aggressive. Thus no good shots… But they seems to be dancing… 123 cha cha cha…

Oh my. I'm sure you've been very proud of your daughter!

I do kind of miss sparring myself. Stopped due to injuries and also the training on the granular floor which wrecked anyone's feet doing footwork. (TJC, behind audi - if anyone knows). Must be adviced for injuries when grown-up! Much harder kicks and I remember my captain goes for hooks to the face :bsmilie:
 

Thanks Jonathan.

Yes, she made me proud. :)

Thanks stormweaver. Glad you liked it. Yes, will keep this threat alive as long as she is still in the sports. :)

That's all for this grading…. till the next one...
 

It's been 9 months since her last grading…. missed the other 2 because she wasn't ready and school work/activities…

Though not ready for the test, but still went ahead….

1. At the stadium, or any other events, this seems to be a common sight…

That's all for now… the next one could still be the same belt….

Thanks for viewing.

Congrats to u n ur daughter. great to see her progress. I'm sure we'll see her with 1st poom by year end. Will she be participating in d coming inter-school or nationals?
 

lovely documentation of your daughter's (and soon son's) TKD journey but you need to time your shot. it'll make for more interesting shots say for example when a kick is delivered at the end and not mid way.
 

Evita’s a black belt after 10 years in her club!!!
