After a 3 hours drive I jumped straight in with a just over 4 hour Pre Grading for my 7th Degree. After having my back lock out on me last week and not being able to kick to even my knee most days, I was very happy that it loosen up for this. Lots of stretching, “active rest” and massage paid off. Now for the final step in November for Grading itself. Exciting and nervous all at the same time.
Thank you Master Peter Whitehead of AuthenticTKD for the opportunity to be Graded under a Chang Hon TKD group. I have always had the goal of having what I know/do be recognised by a TKD specific organisation, but most importantly be reminded once again that there is still much more to learn. A great day spent with likeminded people followed by a little longer than 3 hour drive back. Extra thank you to James Dennis for your support and chauffeuring 😁
