This year has brought adversity to all of us. It has affected us one way or another and as they say Tough times don’t last, people do. It’s how we as individuals deal with the bumps in the road that define who we are. I tell my students constantly that no matter what life brings you always fight on! I’m beyond proud of all my students especially those who just promoted. In the bunch I have my highest ranked student whom I’ve raised since white belt get her Poom belt after... over 4 years of training with me. We still have much work to do Miss Josselyn! Thank you to all the parents and students for their love and support! Thanks always to Master Joe for his guidance and support! @new_york_black_belt_center #wolfpack #wolfpack #nybbc #nybbccorona #tkd #tkdlife #tkdpromotion #taekwondo #proundinstructor #martialarts #coronaqueens #queenstkd See more
