10 HIMs gathered for another Thursday workout at Hot For TaeKwonDo or Hot for Tate or Hot for Teacher (who knows the name anymore). After a stellar pre-blast from Qwerty about Principal Rooney, nostalgic movies, law enforcement, and trespassing, I knew it was going to be a great morning. YHC did some recon earlier in the week and had plenty of options for the beatdown. After realizing there were no FNGs, the F3 mission was recited as well as the pledge. [Read More]

Nevertheless, I’m not taking my name off now. [Read More]

Without a doubt, that’s the phrase that comes to mind when I think of Dazed and Confused. However, the PAX were none of that - they came raring to go! We had some great mumblechatter in the parking lot beforehand in throughout and it was great to have a couple new and relatively new to F3 PAX. Here’s what went down; We started with the disclaimer, but also planted a seed for safety (to be revisited at COT). [Read More]
