Avi participated in his first Taekwondo tournament on November 9th at Grace Chiristian School, Cary and bagged 3 golds in board-breaking, sparring and individual free design. He also got a silver medal in team free design with his partner Aryan. The great thing about the whole accomplishment has been his own efforts whether it was deciding the routine for free design or picking up right music to go with it or practicing his form diligently. He is most proud of his sparring medal because it really was a tough competition and was earned at the cost of a badgered thigh when the boy against him (taller than Avi) kicked him really hard on thigh (he did get a penalty strike for doing it). Avi is really happy for his team free design medal also. It took a lot of late evenings synchronizing the routine with his partner but the pay-off has been not only the medal but also finding a great friend in the process. Avi and Aryan creatively designed their steps and had fun doing it together. Avi picked up popular Bollywood tune of "hookah bar " song for his team free design and chose theme song of movie Pacific Rim for his individual free design. He scored points for his crisp, sharp and fast steps.
Neev missed out on the competition but very excited for his brother's achievements. Neev is extra ordinary with his free design movements according to his instructors. He is the fast feet kid in his group and can't wait for the next tournament to show off his skills. For now we all are celebrating the shine of the bling our sunny boy brought home. We are so proud !
