Well, that's how he won the one gold medal
The 2nd gold medal was for his techinique in Patterns. We videod him in action & he was a little upset cos when on the podium for winners he tried to shake the boys hand that he beat in Sparring (fighting match) but the kid was mean to him. My son has a big heart & good Sportsmanship (basically he's not a poor sport) ...So, yeah all those kicks & punches he gave that kid got him the Gold! My son, is best at his kicks as his punches need a bit of work! But, believe me kids from all over Canada were at this tournament & my son surely proved himself yet again with his abilities & knowledge of this sport!!! YES, I am very proud of him no matter whether he comes home with a medal or not!!! THAT'S OUR BOY!!!

This is cool video to show your son TJ Imagine fighting this one at 5x's stronger than a human

You will need to download this vid by clicking save and then scanning it for viruses I have seen it and says no viruses but dbl check

hem.passagen.se/status/karatechimp.mpe

[TJ]

Thanks he liked the vid...pretty amazing what animals can do

As for my eldest son...He's back in Taekwondo full-time finally ... Was quite hard on him first week but he's back in the grind! What was hardest on him was not the physical part...was not being able to participate for so long in ALL sports. Health comes first in order to do sports This year will be his black belt which'll cost us over $800 CraZy but worth every cent Our other son's want to join asap too

[TJ]

Son brought home a registeration pamphlet for another Tournament in November but the instructor is only letting my son compete in the patterns not the sparring. A good thing all around but my son isn't too happy about this. Typical sportsman

Here is a pic of his accomplishments so far

Note: He has a whole whack of Certificates underneath that one in the frame He's red belt - double black stripe right now......

[glow=Gold,2,300] That's Our Boy !!! [/glow]
