April testing was from a blue belt to a brown belt. This was the last taekwondo for awhile. Luke was prepared and ready to do his best. He knew his segments to his forms and could do them well. He was very disappointed in board breaking to miss his first board break with a punch. He has nailed the punch in practice time and time again. He broke the board great with his hook kick. That is a little tricky and you have to hit the board just right. He got it on his first try. That black belt is getting within reach. During sparring, Luke was paired with an adult. He is fun to watch and can really get after it. He kicks high too.
I really enjoyed taekwondo class. I liked the exercise and staying in shape. I felt good about my techniques and could do the skills well. It also kept me feeling good. Without the motivation of a class it is hard to keep in shape and exercise. I dont know if I will continue with Luke ,as he goes up in rank, he will be in a new class. We will take off until fall and see what happens.
After testing tonight, we met Karla and Carley and took them out to eat in downtown Ames. Carley has been attending ISU. We have told her many times if she ever stays for a weekend we would take her out to eat or could go to church with her, or she could come out to the house, hang out with Jayden, and ride horses. She went home every weekend the entire semester.
