Wow! We have four white belts, one gold stripe, one gold belt, three green belts, two blue stripes, one red belt, one black belt, and Master Bosse in our class! That makes 13 students plus one instructor! That's a lot of students for our small Mt. Charleston class- it doesn't seem so small anymore! Here are some pictures from a few days ago, and this is before another new student joined yesterday, and on a day when not all the students were there! Our little Do-Jang Garage is getting pretty crowded now, are we going to have to find someplace bigger? But new students are still welcome, so don't hesitate to come to class! Also, congratulations to Gino, Gabriel, and Sebastian for their new belt promotions, and to Roman, my dad, and Austin for their upcoming tests!
And speaking of new belt promotians, even if this might sound kind of silly, at the Whitney Ranch class the students were always saying that the new belts smelled like different kinds of candy- the gold belts were supposed to smell like honey, the blue belts like cotton candy, the red belts like cherry, ect. Me and my brother, once Whitney Ranch students, don't remember what they other ones were supposed to smell like, but I believe that one of them was supposed to smell like chocolate. I have never found them to smell like anything. MythBuster-type test: Do new belts really smell like candy? Take a whiff of your next new belt to find out for yourself! I don't believe it, but my brother and lots of the Whitney Ranch students say at least some of them do! So comment to share the test results of this (clearly a myth, I think) Whitney Ranch TKD myth!
Also, I don't exactly know what I am doing in the picture of me teaching... it looks like an almost-something. Maybe I was teaching him the hand positions of the low-block. Anyway, that isn't a real technique.
