that I now got my yellow belt, which is actually Lady of the Dan’s old yellow belt. She insists that I make the green one as soon as possible, so she can get it back.
She’s a kickin elfin, and her belt is too short for me.
But I got my yellow belt back.

insists on me coming back to her classes.
Oh well… insists... But she’d like me to come. So Monday I will register at the Volkshochschule. That means I can’t attend ‘art therapy’ at work. I think in the long run TKD will pay off more for me personally.
Yay! And as for the yellow belt: if I find one among my effects I’ll wear it. Years and years ago I made green-blue. I’m not there anymore, but I and LotD think I am still good enough for yellow. <|8)
Boy, I know I’m going to rue this, when I have to travel to training in the evenings, coz I got a big lazy butt.
But I am also thrilled and happy!
The pic: Omigods, omigods, I just googled for fun and found the site of the dojang where I made that green-blue, more than 20 years—ah, no. It says “since 15 years”. I’m not
THAT old then. Phew.

I can’t write anything decent, it’s close to the election. Might as well declutter. This won’t happen soon. Perhaps with a different job, so I can attend Lady of the Dan’s training sessions at 19:30h (7:20pm).
I am unhappy that I give up on this. As unhappy as about giving up on singing in a choir. But… I can be honest and unhappy, or I can delude myself and be unhappier.

TKD season has started October 1st, I have already payed in September, and I haven’t attended one training session yet.
Because the dates that I want to go to, with my friend Lady of the Dan teaching, are on Wednesdays, the day of Art Therapy at my work. AT lasts until 20h, TKD starts at 18:30.
I could go Monday, to a different teacher, and sigh, 1st Monday I was busy gaming and didn’t waste a single thought on TKD. Next week I stayed at work till 20h, this week~ argh. Heavy butt, and da game.
And I would lie if I said I’ll go next week. I could, but honestly, after work I don’t feel like going anywhere but home.
I am not happy, and I am not yet putting this goal into the “I give up” section. I’ll leave it here, to remind me of my shame.

M And life goes on (and why are five people still subscribed to me?)
seriously 100 or 150ish a day, if you can’t already jump high. To get your greenbelt w/ a stripe (is there a short name for that?) you need to know jump kicks. They’re hard if you can’t jump high.
Try spinning back kicks, too, it helps your balance.

because I went sightseeing. But I trained on Monday and on Wednesday.
And I already registered for next term, which will start in September.
Until then there will be at least one training every Friday.
Writing this I feel stupid. Just today I gave up on the choir-goal, and this looks similar somehow.
But it’s not.
I’ll be back for more exciting news after the next training. :)

2nd Training
18 months ago
Ow. It hurt. But that’s nothing. In two days it’ll really hurt.
I never was a sports crack, and during those 3 years of occupational therapist school I didn’t even dance. And now I am stiff and mopplig (chubby) and totally weak.
BUT
I am getting better
AND
I can make my (2nd) yellow belt on August 2nd. YÖH!
AND
next training is on Monday.
And I got my old Taekwon Do book back from my Bro—because today I forgot some moves of the 1st Hyong, how embarassaing!
The Taekwon Do ‘scene’ in Munich is great; and my old school friend, Lady of the Dan, is one of the best among them, and she supports me. I am really grateful. :D

I’m so close. I know everything I need to know, I just need to find out when the next belt test is. z.z

might be a bit early… But I want that belt back! I already had it, but that’s so long ago that I’m starting all over again.
