August 2013 Testing

On Friday, August 2nd American Taekwondo & Fitness held promotion testing for several advanced ranked belts.  Morgan Andersen successfully attained the rank of deputy black belt, and Toby Kinstler achieved the rank of senior red belt.  

Both martial artists were tested on the required material of poomse, free-sparring, self-defense, slow-motion kicking, and board breaking.  Morgan Andersen performed several board breaks consisting of a flying-spin-heel kick, back fist, and also the routine used at the TKD Nationals in Chicago.  Toby Kinstler broke his boards using a flying-turn-backside kick, and an elbow strike.  

Testing was presided over by Masters Henk Boese and John McCrackin.  Assisting with the test was Master Deverick Ohms, Master Davin Ohms, Drew Ohms, and Dan Andersen.  

After the test, the group met at Mr. Dan Andersen's house for a bonfire, pizza and drinks.  

Thank to Ohms Bros. photography for taking the pictures!
