One day, a menacing man entered my Taekwon-do school in New York City during class. He was carrying a broom stick and talking incoherently. He smelled like a port-o-potty after an NFL football game and he was clearly on drugs. My instructor was the first person to become aware of his presence and he moved quickly to address the situation.

Yellow belt students are expected to demonstrate self-defense techniques numbered 1-6. These techniques emphasize arm and hand positioning as well as concepts of leverage and control. While they may look simple to the outsider, learning these techniques and mastering the nuances of wrist locking take years to master. These are very effective skills to possess in self-defense situations.
For his green belt testing, Kristian Frye performs Do-San.
Priscilla McCabe earned a green belt. Her board break was a lead leg side kick.
Congratulations Priscilla!
Mr. Mannion began the test with a breaking demonstration. He broke 3 boards with a lead leg side kick followed by a failed attempt to break a board with a flying front turning kick.
