yellow belt!

Back in February, Logan earned his yellow belt. Clearly, this post is way overdue as he's about to test again on June 26th for his green tip. I can't say enough great things about Master Murphy and his program. As you might remember, I enrolled Logan into the TaeKwonDo program as kind of an add-on to my gym membership last fall. I had no idea whether he'd like it or not, but the price was more than right for these types of schools. The downside: lessons were from 8:30-9:30pm on Tuesday's and Thursday's. This little guy needs his sleep, and he's an early riser like his Papa, but he was dedicated enough to make it work. In April, Master Murphy achieved his dream of starting his own studio, and Dragon System was born. You can "like" them on Facebook and check out a bunch of pictures of my little rising star. He was the "profile pic" until just the other day. Master Murphy is the real deal. He was some kind of world champion back in his day and is also a retired teacher. His classes strike just the right amount of discipline and seriousness mixed with humor and fun. And he knows that every moment is a teaching opportunity in the eyes of a child.


Master Murphy


So proud!



He's ready to start!

Ok, so he didn't break a board for this picture, but he successfull snapped a similar board in two the week before on his very first try!!!! Jay broke his board and Master Murphy surprised him with a yellow belt as well on this same evening. Can you find him in the background? He's the proud Daddy!
