The Road to Black (as of 091624)

How Lead by Example Taekwondo in Springfield and Fairfax Virginia turned my shy 6 year old into a confident, athletic, and social 9 year old on his way to getting a black belt someday. A lot of great instructor and friends made this possible.

There are a lot of excellent taekwondo schools in the DMV, but my son went to the best one.

He tests for his black belt this November.

Thank you to Mister Aykut for the private lessons and telling him he could be a black belt someday.

Thank you to his instructors over the years: Masters Tommy, Janet, and Cassandra Lightfoot, Master Evan, Master Andrew, Mr. Christian, Miss Kimmy, Miss Cecelia, Mr. Radford, Mr. Tue, Master Randolph, Mr.Rodolfo, Miss Katie, Miss Kaitlyn, Mr. Mike…

Thank you to all the great kids who pulled him through; Mitch, Matteo, Shaka, Noah, Nick, Everett, Ava, Carter, Rogan, Hunter…

And thank you to ‪@blackbeltacademyfairfax7969‬ ‪@jhoonrheetaekwondo4000‬ Legacy Martial Arts Springfield, and Dynamic Kick Springfield for some great tournaments and in some cases, great outside advice to help him hopefully reach his goal.
