Lincoln Tae Kwondo

[June 10, 2019] 

Results of competitors from Lincoln Taekwondo in Lincoln, who participated in the Wartrace Martial Arts 1st Annual Martial Arts Tournament held June 8th, 2019 at Fellowship Baptist Church in Vienna, Illinois

The event was hosted by Master Erin Lehman.

Master Lehman conducted a very well organized tournament with participants from throughout the area. There was a very high caliber of competition in a variety of styles. All were tough!

This day was a pleasant experience for our Lincoln competitors. And especially pleasant for me personally as I was reacquainted with several dear friends and many valued mentors from my Taekwondo past. I was honored to be present as Mrs. Lehman was promoted to her 6thDan Black Belt by her father.
