Kid's Taekwondo Testing



In January, Emma and Liam participated in testing for their next belts in Taekwondo. They were both successful in their testing and Liam received his yellow belt and Emma received her green belt. They train at Team Martin Taekowndo, a black belt academy that focuses on confidence, discipline, integrity and respect. They are family owned and operated and truly enjoy what they do (for more info see their website: http://www.tmt-lv.com/). Emma began the year in the black belt club and shocked us all with her aggressive and fearless attitude towards sparring. She regularly fights kids bigger than her and usually wins. Liam enjoys leading his class, but frequently gets frustrated because some of the girls in his class are higher ranked and therefore end up bowing the class in and out.

Emma will likely continue to progress at TMT, Liam on the other hand may be moving on to another sport as his concentration and dedication are not quite the level at the level of his big sister.
