I'm so thankful to God for keeping me healthy, and for the support of my friends, family, and coaches.  Extra special thanks to Master Young In Bang for believing in me and wanting to take me to the next level.  It was so much fun winning Gold at this year's USAT Texas State Championship with you in my chair.  Can't wait for the next opportunity. 

Dear Friends and Family, I'm so proud to share with you that after a great deal of time in the dojang training and preparing, I was able to earn my 2nd degree black belt this past weekend.  I can't wait to get back to my regular training schedule while also preparing for my 3rd degree black belt in 2 years' time.  Thanks so much to my family, to Master Bang, and my entire team.  I couldn't have done this without your support.  Special thanks also to Master Kyo Hwang in Kansas City for all of his support and help over the past 2+ years.
