I studied Taekwondo throughout dental school and earned my 1st Dan (1st degree black belt) rank just before moving to Charlotte, NC in 1998. For various reasons, I didn't train after moving. In 2013, after moving to south Charlotte, I began training with Sifu Eric Sbarge at The Peaceful Dragon https://bit.ly/33ImqME) in Shaolin Kung Fu and still train with him as of 2020. These photos are from Chinese New Year Celebrations, CACMA tournaments, and other events associated with the Peaceful Dragon. It's an amazing school, full of amazing people!
