Hello, Whitewright, Texas. Please say hello and welcome to some newer members of the Whitewright Martial Arts Center family.
In the picture from left to right are: Jena Maib. She had taken Taekwondo earlier and has decided to come and resume her training. She took it while she was in school and did not really advance to other ranks but wish to do so here.
Next is Jeannette Fiveash, who again took Taekwondo quite some time ago, advanced to blue belt in her previous school and decided to come back into Taekwondo. Since she had been out for so long she opted to start again as a white belt in the same manner as my current student, Bo LaRoe, who had advanced to green belt but opted to start over as a white belt.
Next is Dylan Zavala who is just starting. In just a few lessons he is showing great promise.
Next to him is Bridger Campbell who is also just starting and is the brother of Bailor Campbell. He too is showing great promise. Bailor was awarded his first yellow belt a few weeks ago.
And, last but definitely not least, is River Diehl. He started under me as a white belt ten years ago and progressed up to his first degree black belt. Due to family circumstances he and his family had to move to McKinney which was a bit too far for him to come train here. He has now returned and as a side note is engaged to Jena Maib, the first one on the left.
There is one more who had to be out of town on business when this picture was taken and that is Lorie Clark, a second degree black belt, who trained under Grand Master H Kim in McKinney. Her company moved their office from McKinney to Bonham. That for her was too far to train there so she sought my school out and I'm glad to have her.
Again, say hello and congratulate these students on their joining the Whitewright Martial Arts Center family and wish them well on their journey through Taekwondo.
