Second at the AOMA TaeKwinDo Nationals!!

Options
My Son and I both took second Place at the nationals in Sparring, He also finished second in Board breaking. He took a BRUTAL shot to the upper abdoman but got up to fight again. The boy that did it was DQed for not showing control.

    kungfu4less.com seems to be about the best price going unless you can find some used on Craigslist

    Actually, if I decide to do sparring, my school will order the gear for me (with a duffle bag included).
