Paaugstināts par 4. Dan

Ceturtdien, Janvāris 31, 2020, Lielmeistars Pats Vesemans mani paaugstināja līdz 4. Dan taekvondo padziļinātajā klasē. Kad sāku nodarbības pie vecmeistares Vesemanes un viņas vīra Art, Es nebiju paredzējis sasniegt šo pagrieziena punktu.

Sākotnēji es sāku apmeklēt nodarbības ar savu brāļadēlu Džimu pavasarī 1995. Pēc apprecēšanās 1996, I stopped taking classes for several years until coming back to class with my daughter Caitlin during July 2000.

Over the next twenty years, all three of my children and fourteen nieces and nephews would train with me. I have also had two great nephews take classes.

Besides Taekwondo, I earned a Brown Belt in Judo, un Zaļais rangs Goju Shorei ieroču sistēmās. I have also studied other martial arts.

As part of earning my 4th Dan, I recorded instructional videos for all the below black belt forms. We shot all twenty-one forms from three different angles with instructions.

I will have to come up with new goals for 5th Dan. Over the years, I have set out on new missions and took on new projects.

At one time, I created a system of self-defense that I was going to teach separately from Taekwondo. Tomēr, I decided to just incorporate this instruction into the Willow self-defense program.

I also thought that my sons would take over from me one day. Tomēr, as they are on their own mission in life and I do not plan to slow down any time soon.

Things are always changing. What is true today may not be true tomorrow, so we have to adapt on our own journeys.

I achieved a major goal tonight but tomorrow I take the first step on my next five year journey. Who knows where that path will take me.
