Taekwando Update

It has been a long time since I have updated Rebecca's progress in taekwando. After January we were sporadic in our attendence of classes, going maybe once a week. Then in late March/early April, ATA Martial Arts of The Woodlands/Spring moved their location. Instead of being a 10 minute drive to the center of the Woodlands, we now have a 20 to 25 minute drive to the other side of the highway.

After the school moved, we did not make it to class for about three weeks because Rebecca was still in choir. With the longer drive, it was harder to make it to class on time. We finally got back on track in late April and in June, Rebecca earned her blue belt.

This summer we have tried to go to class at least twice, and sometimes three times a week. In a recent class Rebecca did some sparring practice with Meghann, another young girl in her class. Here is their sparring match. Rebecca did pretty good. (Rebecca is the taller one.)


Meghann & Rebecca - girl power!

On August 14, we had a taekwando tournament at the new school. It was a packed house!

Ready to compete - Johnny, Rachel, Meghann, Rhys, Rebeccca & Michael.

Serious & focused.

Here is Rebecca doing her form, In Wha 2.

Rebecca did so good, and actually got 1st place in forms. Here she is getting her trophy.

Proud girl!

Rebecca & Senior Master Berry.

So proud of my girl! Way to go Rebecca!
