Last Saturday, Sept. 22nd, Josh had to "mid-term".
It was held prior to the beginning of a tournament in Rupert. I was excited that it was close to home so we could go watch him. I LOVE watching him in the art of Taekwondo.
The rank of Master has several different forms that have to be demonstrated in front of a judging panel of other Taekwondo Masters.
I was so impressed with the students who showed such respect to their instructor to come to the tournament early to watch Josh and show their encouragement.
Those who would be competing later in the tournament or not.
Pretty darn neat.
So, I tried using my camera to video Josh doing part of one of his forms and his board breaks.
Have you ever been videoing and can't tell if the camera is taping or not?
Yep, have a couple of minutes of the floor, walls....
But trust me, the board breaks were
AWESOME!!!
Congrats Bud, I love you.
You are a great example of a real gentleman, friend and an amazing instructor.

He did his forms

His respect and
