Oneonta Taekwon-do

Kent made his first appearance at a promotion test in Oneonta. He demonstrated Dan-Gun and basic techniques along with step sparring before finally breaking a board with a rear leg side kick.

Congratulations to Phineas Brown Collins on earning his blue belt. Blue belt signifies “the plant reaching up to the sky”, indicative of Finn’s strength and power. His precise movements in Yul-Gok are indicative of his dedicated practice and we are proud of his growth and successes.

It was fortunate that Finn could spar with his cousin Cael who earned his first black stripe:

Congratulations to Finn. Without all that hair, he seems to be moving faster.

Congratulations to David Howard on his successful promotion to blue stripe.  His test required a demonstration of Won-Hyo and a rear leg sidekick to break 2 boards in addition to fundamentals and self-defense.
