How I did it: The first time, it took 3 years and I got to high red belt, but had to stop because of back pain issues. Because I'd moved in the meantime, I started training at a different gym.The second time was harder, because I had been exposed to 99% of the material. The curriculum was strikingly similar to the previous gym, but there were subtle nuances that continue to trip me up. The time from high red belt to black belt was interesting. I never … Read how I did it…
I got to high red belt, but began having severe back issues (I have scoliosis), so I had to stop. I have just recently started up again and am hoping that my back with hold out. I feel confident it will.
Update: I’m back up to a blue belt and making good progress.
I heard recently that you should drink a glass of water with every meal and between each meal. Following this advice, I’ve found my water intake has increased dramatically!
Doing a lot of pushups for the sake of doing them isn’t important. Doing them as part of an exercise routine is definitely worthwhile. But there’s nothing magical about 100 push-ups, especially when you are in a taekwon-do class and are being disciplined. :)
