Taekwondo

I'm a member fo the NMC Taekwondo Club. On May 17th, 1997 I competed in my first "real" tournament and placed 1st in forms and 2nd in sparring. On December 18th, 1997 I tested and achieved blue belt rank (4th gup) and got the actual belt on January 22nd, 1998. In May I got the red stripe on my blue belt making me 3rd Gup in time for the annual NMC BBQ TKD Demo.
Thursday, December 17, 1998, I achieved 2nd Gup, or Red Belt rank. It was a very exciting night for me, filled with a bit of pain after I broke my toenail when my foot slipped on a front kick, during the breaking portion of my test. I joked about breaking my hands and instead broke a toenail. And this is the only time I have ever complained of a broken nail!

As a side note, I've been practicing Taekwondo for 10 years, but I've had some breaks(sometimes a year at a time). Since I moved to Cleveland, I haven't found a replacement club yet. Even when I do, the NMC club will always have a fond place in my mind and heart.

RESUME
(under construction)

Psi Patrol Series Novels(also no longer in print)
Used Heavybag or other punching bag, and a used rebreakable board
