Charles Thrasher--Temporary Black Belt Test



West Liberty Dojang
Temporary Black Belt
October 11, 2014


I stay with Tkd for a lot of reasons.  Some of the reasons are Defense, the Safety, the new people, etc. My favorite part is the feeling of safety. For example before I joined I was being bullied. My dad joined about a year and half before me so I started for the safety. I also especially like the Black belt classes, but I can never go,so I practice a lot at home. Now I gonna talk about My family In Tae Kwon do. First, Hi my name is Charles Trasher Im 10 years old. My Dad's 42. My brother is 11. Over the years Ive seen at least 75 people come in Our dojang. So far only Me, My DaD, And My brother. My Masters are usually Mrs. Jen henderson and Master Rick Janney but my Dad teaches now. My Dad usually goes full throttle on us. The people Im teaching is Kaiden hodge, Isaac ramirez, Coven Morgan, Evan beal and Cole Wagamon. I've been in TaekwonDo for about five years now. My Mom is going to Join when My sister is old enough. I started right away on my 5th birthday. I would say that My best pupil is Isaac. Its him, because hes a leader, responsible, serious and he kept saying "Im gonna do it."

Another reason is for sports. I've increased my strength by 3X. In 4th grade I played kickball. Some people called me "hamma." I thought its weird but it fit. I pretty much did a straight up stretch kick. For free sparring I mixed it up with P.E. I just went with the flow. Another reason is taekwondo holds the most powerful kick. Its a jump reverse kick with 1596 pounds of force. So far over the years Ive learned a bit of taekwondo culture.  Long ago there were no belts. I was really expensive. So they knew how much you mastered with how much sweat your dobo has.
