“Joon-Gup Il-Jang!” This was one of the poomsae’s (forms) I had to demonstrate during my Taekwondo 1st Degree Black Belt “Green” Tip Test held @mktkdroc on Saturday, February 20, 2021 🙂

Do you hear that uniform popping? That’s POWER! I had to tighten up my black belt afterwards! 🤣

“New Year New Mindset!” I am THANKFUL for 2020

“New Year New Mindset!” I am THANKFUL for 2020 because it taught me valuable lessons across all avenues of life, which has better equipped me to be successful in 2021!

I cannot change the past; I can only reflect and LEARN from it. I must live my best life NOW in the present, as everyday is a GIFT! I am primarily the sum of all the CHOICES I have made in life, therefore I must continue to make wise and calculated decisions in all areas to secure a better FUTURE.

I have loved whole heartedly and transparently; and have experienced rejection, betrayal and unfair judgment. Still, I FORGIVE, because I know everyone falls short of sin and I am not perfect. Therefore, I will NOT GIVE UP and I still have HOPE! One day, I pray I do meet my future best friend, lover, and precious Queen (wife), but until then, I will continue building myself up and preparing myself so I can be the BEST friend, lover and King (husband) to her (whoever she is)!

In 1 Corinthians 13, the first word used to describe LOVE is PATIENCE. With that said, through all things, I will be patient in prayer and CONFIDENT through my FAITH that God has my back...no matter what...as long as I do my part in obedience.

Cheers 🥂 to me, for the wonderful MAN I have become! I LOVE myself for always pushing forward through any trial or circumstances, and for remaining humble in the presence of the Lord. I will continue to be a blessing to my family and friends, to my students and to all those I come in contact with. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!

“Creative Upper Body Board Break!” This was my board breaking performance during my Taekwondo 1st Degree Black Belt “Yellow” Tip Test held @mktkdroc on Sunday, October 18, 2020 (on my birthday! 🙂

That board represents anything negative trying to stand in my way of reaching my goals and dreams including COVID-19! Enjoy!

“Back Spinning Kick!” This was the fourth and final board breaking technique I demonstrated during my 1st Degree Taekwondo Black Belt Test at Master Kim’s Taekwondo Institute @mktkdroc on 7/18/2020! I couldn’t be more pleased! One laser strike for the break!

I’d also like to share that I am still not 100% healed from a severe injury in my left Sacroiliac Joint I incurred in early February! I believe in taking all natural remedies and do my best to even stay away from taking aspirin and other non-prescription drugs, but I was in pain that Saturday morning before my test and decided to take 1600 mg of ibuprofen to help me push through!

I am only sharing this info to INSPIRE someone out there who may need a little motivation! Nothing in life comes easy and there are always going to be obstacles that will try to hinder your goals and dreams; you just have to dig deep and PUSH THROUGH IT!!

I am so encouraged that if I can perform like this with an injury, I am going to be even better once I am 💯 % healed in Jesus’ Name! Let’s get it! Peace & Blessings! 🙏🏼👊🏼

Today (7-18-2020) was an awesome day! It was an honor to test for my 1st Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo at Master Kim’s Taekwondo Institute (Penfield, NY) @mktkdroc!

I started training in Taekwondo back in 1990 with the Master Kim family when they opened up their first school in Irondequoit, NY! However, due to many personal issues that I allowed to distract me, I stopped taking classes back in 1995! (Please read my previous post that explains those reasons!)

Anyhow, IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED!! Here I am 25 years later and at the age of 41 years old making that happen!

My Grandmaster Sung Chul Kim is the BEST! I appreciate all of his support in helping me fight through an injury while having to train and test with a mask 😷 during the COVID-19 Pandemic! This was our school’s first “pandemic testing,” so I feel GREAT to be part of history! It wasn’t easy, but I kept pushing to meet my goal! What you are seeing is simply the result of hard work and dedication!

I hope that you enjoyed this short video clip showcasing my creative kick sequence that finished with a jump spinning roundhouse kick! I will be posting a new clip of my 1st Degree Black Belt Pandemic Testing everyday this week, so stay tuned! Peace & Blessings!

Today is a very special day as I will be testing for my 1st Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo!

I actually started training in Taekwondo back in 1990 and by the Summer of 1993 I was a NY State Champion and a Junior Olympic National Champion! In 1995, I reached the rank of advanced red (now brown) belt, which is the rank right before 1st Degree Black Belt.

Long story short, I allowed negative peer influences in the street and a chaotic family situation influence me to stop taking classes in addition to dropping out of high school a year later.

I have now earned my GED, my BA and my M.S.Ed. along with multiple professional teaching licenses, making National Dean’s List and teaching in urban K-12 + post-secondary schools for 13 years.

Now, after a 25 year hiatus, I am finally going to earn my 1st Degree Black Belt! I am so excited! My test officially begins at 1:00 pm EST on Saturday, July 18, 2020!

Please pray I do well as I am also still fighting through a major injury! 🙏🏼 Peace & Blessings!

“Be At Peace With Yourself From Within.” There

“Be At Peace With Yourself From Within.” There are a lot of people out there (including myself) going through some challenging times this Holiday Season, but sometimes we have to go through certain things in order to become more in tune with our inner being.

Peace & Happiness comes from “within.” Money and materialistic things come and go. If you are having a difficult time enjoying time by yourself and appreciating all the things you do have (because there is always someone who has it worse), then please take the time to conduct a self-inventory (soul search) to figure out what you need to do differently in your life to bring about true happiness from within. Maybe it’s making a workout schedule, taking yourself out for a drink once a week, joining a new meetup group doing activities with people with common interests.

These are things I have been learning myself as I go along. Why do you think so many millionaires become depressed, become addicted to drugs and commit suicide? That’s because they never took the time to “learn themselves”...in order to apply self-care and self-love.

When I become a millionaire one day, I’ll know exactly how to manage my money and status to “leverage” the peace & happiness I already feel from within. I will use my monetary gain to uplift and inspire others including my future family. Stay warm and spread some love! We ALL need it! Peace & Blessings!

Just a spur-of-the-moment freestyle that I recorde

Just a spur-of-the-moment freestyle that I recorded while in a musical vibe. I had a few drinks and was feelin’ all right! I used to be so self-conscious that I couldn’t post a freestyle if it wasn’t lyrically on point compared to other freestyles of mine or whatever! However, going into 2020, I’m saying WHO CARES! Sometimes it’s just about capturing a VIBE and having a GOOD TIME and things don’t have to be perfect!
Besides, most cats don’t really “freestyle” when they’re on a radio or talk show; of course it’s prewritten and rehearsed because they’re on a major platform! Some rap artists can’t even freestyle at all! 🤣 I say JUST DO YOU! No judgment! Enjoy your life because it goes by fast! Peace & Blessings!

“ONE to the TWO to the THREE; I’ve been throug

“ONE to the TWO to the THREE; I’ve been through some things in LIFE you only see on TV!” I know it’s been a minute since I last posted; I’ve been going through some transitions. I’m really taking the time to self-reflect and strategize.

I am so tired of all the FAKE people posing on IG; the FAKE friendships...the FAKE music industry service providers serving FAKE streams and follows...the FAKE lifestyles, the gimmicks-all of it!

I am thinking about starting a behind the scenes real-life documentary on my YouTube Channel about all of the sacrifice and struggle in my life that no one sees in pursuing my dream. Trying to break through the music industry as a genuine and legit Independent Hip-Hop Recording Artist, without doing stupid shit for attention is by far not an easy task...but I’m okay with that, because I am patient and I am “legacy building.” If you haven’t already, please CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO to stream or purchase my debut album “A Dollar & A Dream.” Thank You. 🙏🏼 Peace & Blessings!
