Evan and Noah participated in a Merida taekwondo tournament and they both did pretty good for their first attempt. Noah had a very close match and he was winning up til the final seconds when he dropped down a point. A last second head kick to his opponent came after the bell or he would have won his match. Evan, was a little tentative and scared to hurt his opponent so he waited for the kicks to come instead of attacking. This did not help him but he has become much better and in his next tournament, he won both of his matches.

This was a great learning experience for both the boys and they were so glad that they did it. Prof. Anrdi is an amazing teacher and coach and he made sure that all of his students were having a good time and were prepared. The event is a great team building experience and they begin to learn how taekwondo is not just an individual sport but is a team event and you must cheer on your teammates.

This was the first of many taekwondo tournaments to come and we are so excited to see them learn more!

Right after this tournament, the boys were both tested for their green belts and did amazing! They both received their green belts and we were so proud of them.
