My host brother Mart recently competed in a Taekwondo tournament. I didn't get to see him play because I had to leave town for Batad, but I did get some cool pics of other kids fighting, as well as some nice ones of Mart practicing for his fight. He ended up getting a gold medal in his division--though there were only two other guys. I'm really proud of him though--it sounds like he did a fantastic job.

Here are some pictures:

I love watching them kick!

Is it any wonder this guy got a gold medal?
