It was a memorable day grading to 4th Degree blackbelt in Taekwon-Do last weekend under Master Paul McPhail and Master Evan Davidson who are both lifelong martial artists I admire. I’d like to also give a special thank you to Master Mahesh Bhana who helped me achieve the top result of the grading. Finally, a special congratulations to all of the other attendees, particularly my martial arts brother Kman McEvoy 🙏🥋
