Tang Soo Do

At the start of every semester the clubs put on a club fair and members from the SGA clubs have informational tables set up so that students can learn about the different options for extra curricular activities and professional organizations that they may want to participate in.  This semester Matt decided to join the Tang Soo Do club so that he and Carina would have the opportunity to introduce Carina to the martial arts that were so important to him growing up.

After developing their skills for the last month and a half they were both ready to test for their yellow belts. 













And Ms. Carina received a medal for the best tester under ten.  She showed indomitable spirit and perseverance during her testing and has made tremendous progress in the short time she has been training.  Her pride and smile were contagious.  
I wish I had better pictures but it turns out Belt testing and a 19 month old do not mix well.  But they both did a great job and have really enjoyed this time together.

These pictures of their time and testing show remarkable skills by Ms. Carina and Dr. Matt. I am proud that she is carrying on the tradition that her dad enjoyed for such a long time and the bonus of the two of them doing it together.

Just checking in to see how you all are doing. Wyatt has been asking about his friend, Carina, a lot lately. He says he will never forget those days of picking fresh tomatoes from Katie's garden and eating them on her porch swing with Carina. Hope you guys are doing well!
