Wow, that's fantastic! Congratulations to both young men and the proud parents!!!

Since I was there, too, I figured I'll share a bit more with all of you.

We had a total of four competitors competing in the Poomsae Team Trials. Muhammad, Lilian, Kira, and Carolyn. The three girls competed in their junior girl division, as well as the female team division. Muhammad also competed in his Male Senior Division.

Lilian won the Junior Female Division
Muhammad and Lilian won the Co-Ed Pair Division
Muhammad got 2nd place in the male senior division by .08 points. That is, basically, one less mistake for him or one more mistake for the winner, with all other competitors WELL behind the first and second place guys.
And our three girls won second place in female team by .11 points.

So not only did we place two people on the National Team, but we came very close to putting four on! But it's only going to make us train harder for next year.

The World Championship is in Turkey in December. So we will be ramping it up and doing the absolute best we can.

I have the video tape, and will see about converting it over and putting it up if I can manage. At least the winning form.

Wow, that's an allstar team training at one dojang. You could always Youtube it and post the link.

Late comer here, Congrats to you guys!!! What an accomplishment befitting all of your hard work since '93.

Since I have never met you guys, I have to admit I had kinda assumed you might be a bit "geekish". Well, you know what they say about assuming... My perceptions now have totally changed. I think people may type messages to you a bit softer now. hahaha

Good luck at your future competitions.

Sincerely,
Kyle

First of course I congratulate Muhammad and Ibrahim.

Then I have to hand congrats Hakim on your boys doing so well. It doesn't surprise me at all the boys doing above and beyond the norm.

Kyle, having met you, Muhammad, and Ibrahim I'm comfortable in saying y'all would get along like peas in a pod. Fine young men one and all.
