Alert Level ORANGE!

Today Eva showcased her mad Tae Kwon Do skills at the local university in front of 9 judges! They were measuring her discipline, skills and how long it would take Eva to put the other 4 year old girl in a choke hold. I kid, no choke holds, only good sportsmanship. It was neat to see Eva, without fear, walk out onto that big mat and do her thing as the head instructor barked out orders.

Warm-up time!

After the exam all the kids from Eva's class had to wait for the other classes to finish. Eva waited very patiently.
