By the way, did you know that students have sort of a “home page” on this website?
You can type in http://oneontatkd.com/wordpress/tag/ followed by the student’s first name and last name separated by a hyphen in lower case. This url will bring up all…

Cael McCabe earns his red belt. In this post are videos of Cael demonstrating Toi-Gye, board breaking, and sparring with Tom Hill.

Cael performs the pattern Toi-Gye.

Cael breaks two boards with a back kick, and two boards with a cross-behind side kick. Keep in mind the force that must be generated to break 1 and 1/2 inches of pine wood.

Below are videos of the January promotion test. Our red belts took turns sparring each other. It takes a great deal of courage and confidence to stand face to face and fight with people. Especially people who are already pretty good at fighting! We are very pleased that our students demonstrate self-control while still demonstrating solid sparring skills.

Finn Brown earns his green stripe, while Dylan Winsor earns a green belt

Dylan Windsor performs the Do-San pattern, while Finn Brown performs Dan-Gun.

Finn breaks a board with a lead-leg side kick, Dylan breaks a board with a rear-leg side kick.
With stationary side kicks, there is always the challenge of producing momentum. These boards are 3/4 inch pine.

Both Finn and Dylan show their courtesy by bowing to the board holders, who risked their fingers to assist the test.

It was great fun to finally do a flying side kick.  Thanks to Jennifer and Terri for their trust and thanks to Mr McCabe and Mr. Goodrich for bravely…
