Going For The Gold!!!

Jon Michael with his Gold, and 2 Silver Medals
Taekwondo Tournament Katy, Texas


Saturday Jon Michael competed in his very first Taekwondo tournament. There were 3 in his division, yellow belts, age 5-7 for patterns and sparring. For board breaking the first round was against the same division and then they had a break-off against 3 more boys.

Patterns



Silver Medal for Patterns!


He competed in patterns, sparring, and board breaking. I'll post some pictures here and put some video up in the next post...if I can figure that out! We weren't fast enough with the camera to get his board breaks but we got them on video.



Sparring-The judge is, Mr. Webre, the owner and 4th degree Black Belt at our school.



Bowing and showing respect to Mr. Webre.



Gold Medal for Sparring!


I know a lot of you comment in e-mails to us but the boys love to see comments posted here on the blog. If you need to know how to leave them here just let me know.



Silver Medal after two rounds of Board Breaking!






I had to take a picture of this amazing lady getting her bronze medal in sparring. She is 72 years old!!!!!!! They mistakingly said she was 73 but she was quick to correct them! As you can see she's a green belt, 1/2 way to be a black belt....amazing.


Jon Michael had a great time and is already asking to compete again. Stay tuned for more taekwondo updates!
