Tae Kwon Do - Paul

Paul just evaluated for his red belt.  He did AWESOME!  It's a pretty grueling evaluation.  He performed six or so forms which can be anywhere from 16 - 35 movements each.  He had all sorts of kicks, punches, and jumps to remember and do.  He had to perform several "one steps" which are a series of self defense moves.   He spared two people at the same time.  He broke two boards - one with a side kick and one with a front kick.  The board breaking is pretty exciting to watch.  And finally he had to do as many front kicks and side kicks as he could in one minute and 30 push ups.  WHEW!  It's wearing me out just typing it all out here!  Great job Paulie!  We are SO proud of you.  Keep up the great work!




Here he is breaking the board with a front kick!  (Notice, the broken board.)

Congratulations to Paul! And also congratulations on getting both boys in at CVE. Talk about tension being unbearable like tight shorts! Yes, I got that from Dave - I know he'll get a laugh out of that one.

Those are some awesome moves! Did he get any splinters in his foot? =)
