Braden recently participated in the Orange Belt Test for Taekwondo. He worked tirelessly during class getting the forms, kicks, and hold releases down. But, he had not worked at all on the 5 tenets of Taekwondo or counting 1 – 10 in Korean. Let’s just say, thanks to YouTube, I now know how to count in Korean! (I’m also proficient in the 5 tenets of TKD!)

Well, Braden has powerful punches and kicks and knew his stuff. He did pause for a moment to regroup during one of the forms, but he was able to calm himself and proceed flawlessly. I have to thank his Black Belt partner, Ben, and the owner, Jason Poos, for all the support.
