Carson Tae Kwon Do Tourney

Carson competed in his first big tournament this past weekend. He competed in two events: Poomse (POOM-SAY) is forms and then sparring. He placed 2nd in both and received trophies! Here is the footage:

This is Poomse. They put to competitors together and choose the best one. Carson is on your right hand side. He is doing Basic Form #1.

Here he is sparring. You get a point for a solid kick to the chest plate of your opponent. It takes 2 punches to get a point. Tae Kwon Do is mainly known for its kicking. He had the lead until the last 2seconds. It was tied 9-9 and the other opponent got a last kick in and won 10-9 Carson is wearing Blue. I was really proud of him!
