I train at Kwon's Champion School in Elmira Heights, NY. It is a wonderful school. The other students are dedicated and helpful. We are extremely fortunate to have Master Min Park as our instructor.

My niece and I had our black belt tests together, with two black belt students helping (one not in uniform), our instructor Master Park, and the judge, Master Chang. We did four different hand techniques, four kicking combinations, 12 joint locks, sword routine, nunchuk routine, poomsee, and "a lot of breaking!"

Here is a still from one segment of my nunchuk routine.

In the picture below, I have just finished jumping into the air and coming down with both hands, striking and breaking boards with the pinky side of my hands. Paul is the 2nd degree Black Belt student in uniform. He has been a big help to me. In the foreground are two piles of broken boards.
