ON HAVING ACHIEVED THE HEIGHT OF YOUR BLACK BELT PROGRAM
YOU ARE NOW 2nd DEGREE BLACK BELTS!
Your perseverance and determination have placed you among a very small percentage of Martial Arts students who have achieved this level of accomplishment.
The BirdieSisters completed two days of testing for their 2nd degree black belt. They took a written test, a stamina test, sparred and completed technical testing in form, kicking combinations and board breaking. Great Job BirdieSisters!!

BirdieSisters Erica and Myah Jackson always find time to fulfill their spiritual needs and responsibilities. Last Sunday the Children of Light, Canaan MB Church’s Children’s Ministry, presented its annual concert. BirdieSisters Erica Jackson, Myah Jackson, and little brother John are a part of the Ministry and the choir. Erica and Myah are also a part of the children’s praise dance team. This is BirdieSister Erica Jackson’s last year in the Children’s Ministry — she was promoted to the Youth Ministry. However, she will continue to help out with the Children’s Ministry through 2010.

The BirdieSisters are working hard to get better. During one of their recent practice sessions, the BirdieSisters tested “The Black Ball.” The balls came from “Golf Refugees.” Golf Refugees wrote a great article on the BirdieSisters, check it out at : http://golf-refugees.blogspot.com/2009/10/birdie-sisters.html#links.

Yesterday the BirdieSisters competed in their 8th taekwondo tournament. It was held at Rolling Meadows High School in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Erica Jackson competed in breaking and sparring, while Myah Jackson competed in breaking.
BirdieSister Erica Jackson’s breaking was 6 breaks (elbow strike, back fist strike, round- house kick, tornado kick, reverse side kick and jumping side kick). This prove to be a winning combination. Erica placed 1st in sparring as well, winning two very tough matches.
BirdieSister Myah Jackson’s breaks were 2 tornado kicks, jumping front sap kick, reverse side kick, jumping round house kick and jumping front side kick. This combination also propelled Myah Jackson into 1st place in her breaking.
Making his first appearance at a taekwondo competition was the youngest Jackson, John. At age 4 and after only 3 weeks of lessons, John finished 2nd in his breaking group.

The BirdieSisters Erica and Myah Jackson played last weekend in the MAJGT’s invitational three day tournament at Winnetka Golf Course. The weather was cold. In fact, each day there was a frost delay with temps in the high 30’s at the start. It rained all day the previous day so the course was very wet, as were their feet. The BirdieSisters had not experienced these types of conditions during a golf tournament before, so controlling their ball was even more difficult. The course was 28 miles ( 36 mintues ) from home.
Each day brought new lessons in mental toughness and course management. This was not a tournament where “pace of play rule” came into effect, everyone was moving quckly because of the cold. However, the key was not to rush your shot. Day 1 had high winds, day 2 had ice on the greens — the coldest day of the 3 – and day 3 had a chance of rain. For the last two years, Chicago experienced temperatures in the 80s on this weekend. In any event, the BirdieSisters survived!
The BirdieSisters would like to congratulate all of the Mid-American Junior Golf Tour Players Of The Year! We would like thank and congratulate the Mid-American Junior Golf Tour’s staff , interns and management for an excellent inaugural season. Also, a big thanks to all the players and their parents. We hope to see all of you and more next season. For more info see : http://majgt.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/majgt9/poy/minitour811g/index.htm .
