In Taekwondo, since 1993.

Two notables: 1) Grandmaster Yong Sung Lee calling me out of a crowd of testers to tie my Junior Black Belt around my waist. Then he hand wrote my name in Korean on the red part. Might sound trivial, but to me ... it was a BIG deal. Maybe it's because I look up to him so much.

And the other was when Master Peplinski tied my 1st Dan around my waist. 2nd Dan was great, but 1st Dan was ... the 1st.

1993-1996 Placed (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) in Battle of the USA tournaments (Maryland/DC) as well as a number of local tournaments (Maryland/Virginia).
