Yesterday was the End of the Month Tournament at the YMCA.(Above Pictures) For all of you students from the Whitney Ranch and at Mt. Charleston, you are allowed to go, too. There were more people than last time, but still not as many as their used to be. All of us Taekwon-Do students need to come to the End of The Month Tournament!
I came in first place in patterns and first place in sparring. Then, we had a team spar against Cassie, Master Bosse's granddaughter- a 3rd Dan black belt and a champion in free sparring. It was me (1st degree black belt, Jose, (red belt) Sam, (red belt)and Eric (1st degree black belt)as a team against Cassie. We each took turns sparring her- but our team lost 10-0! Let's win against Cassie next time- Cassie, if you're reading this, be sure to come!
Today, at Taekwon-Do at Mt. Charleston, Master Bosse's son Master Joe Bosse visited. With both of them, I learned alot about chambering my leg when doing a side kick and how to move to the side and block or attack while free sparring correctly. I also just figured out that my stances are often messed up when doing patterns because I just focus on my hand and feet techniques instead of my stances, too, even if I know how to do them pretty well.
Today, Gabriel got his gold stripe and Richard got his gold belt. Congratulations!
For all of the students from the Whitney Ranch class and the YMCA, tommorow on Thanksgiving there won't be any class, unfortunatly. When I went to the Whitney Ranch and later the YMCA, since there was no Taekwon-Do on Thanksgiving I would practice at home. If you would like, try practicing your patterns, doing push ups, sit ups and leg lifts, stretching, and if you have siblings also in Taekwon-Do, help them out or have them help you, and free spar with them and/or do your step sparring or releases.
Have a happy Thanksgiving!
