2nd dans and farewells


Above: Me testing for my 2nd dan

Today, I am proud to say that I tested and was awarded my 2nd dan (degree) black belt by Master Bosse! It was a fun test, though my patterns were not as good as they normally are.

But I am sad to say that today we had to say farewell to the Mt. Charleston Do-Jang garage. Today was the last class there- now LVTKD Mt. Charleston Classes (the ones at Mt. Charleston ONLY) will be taking place at the Mt. Charleston Elementary School. Temporarily they will be outside, but hopefully classes will soon be allowed inside the building. Being at the school is a good thing, but it was sad when Master Bosse, my dad, and I took up our padded floor, flags, pictures and kicking walls, and left our old do-jang as we had left it: a plain, concrete-floored garage.

Make sure that you now go to classes at the school- and if you don't know where it is, just call (702)-456-4505 to reach Master Bosse.

Just because it is at a school does not mean that Taekwon-Do is only for children- it is supposed to double as a sort of rec center, meaning that anyone of any age can take Taekwon-Do classes there. Like I have said before, tell you friends to join Taekwon-Do, especially the ones that can go to Mt. Charleston, as Master Bosse needs to have a good amount of people there to keep the class going!
