Kade's Carolina Pines November Taekwondo Tournament


Kade was slightly nervous initially waiting for the tournament to start, but soon after a buddy from his school joined him and he turned cool as a cucumber!



Finally - competition will begin! There were only four boys total in his ring, so the odds for a medal were in his favor!


First event, Forms! Each boy took their turn and they gave scores for each one. Kade ended up tying scores with his buddy, so they had to go again for a tie-breaker!



He won!! All three judges pointed to Kade for first place!



After Forms, he competed in his double nunchucks. He did amazing. Brent and I were in awe of how serious he stayed throughout the routine and how he remembered all of it! The other boys his age stopped several times getting stuck remembering what move to do next. Kade was all business!


Last event - sparring! This one we had some trouble in last tournament, but he was ready! 




He was shorter than all the other boys, but he was mighty! Video below is almost 3 minutes - there is a time limit and whoever scores the most points within the time is the winner!




A certificate placing first in Forms, Weapons and Sparring and a nice medal! A great tournament day!
