Eddie Lott's ATA Black Belt Academy

Hi Everybody. It's been awhile since I last posted. My apologies. It seems that I got off to a good start (blogging) and then kind of fell behind. Well, I'm up and running again. I plan on posting regularly on events that are happening in my life, especially those at the Taekwondo school.

Most recently, we wrapped up another 8-week belt cycle last Saturday at the Statesboro Mall. All of our students who tested for new rank met at 11 am to receive their new belts. As you can imagine it was an exciting event. We had 13 Tiny Tigers who received a new belt, 32 students who received new color belts, and 5 students who received new black belts!

Here's a look at our newest black belts and their ranks:

Lucas Boddiford, 1st degree black belt recommended
Brylie Ritchie, 1st degree black belt decided
Austin Gooding, 1st degree black belt decided
JD Johnson, 1st degree black belt decided
Andi Johnson, 1st degree black belt decided

After the belt presentations, our instructors put on a short demo. They broke boards, sparred, did weapons and self defense. It was great.

Then on Monday, students were able to attend classes and start on new material for their next belt - another goal achieved, another one set, another one they will get!

See you next time!
