Taekwon-do Tourney

On Saturday, Ethan participated in his first regional TKD tournament since he earned his black belt. He is a first degree black belt. Here is a pic of him doing a black belt pattern for which he received second place in his division.
His first sparring bout was with a 4th degree national champion! This champion has had 3 times more experience than Ethan. (gulp) Although he did not win, he did defend himself well and got in an offensive shot or two. His next sparring bout was with a second degree black belt. By that time, he was fired up - having lived through his first match - and creamed the guy! All in all, it was a good day.
