get my black belt in Tae Kwon-Do

i hear rumours that it’s gonna happen before i go to college.

maybe.

I’ve been promoted at work to a role that involves a lot of travelling away. So now I’m away all week most weeks and can’t train.

This means I don’t know when I’ll ever train enough to go for black belt, and also means I have to train on my own in hotel rooms to keep in shape. It’s so frustrating.

I spent a few hours teacing a yellow stripe last minute stuff for her grading the other day. She’s so enthusiastic about taekwondo but still makes all the mistakes the beginners make (stances being wrong, lacking power, etc…) And it made me realise just how far I’ve developed myself. She was getting confused over doing snap kick double punch, and I couldn’t help but laugh. Then she asked me to show her some more advanced kicks, so I was ding crescent kicks, axe kicks, twisting kicks and jumping snap kicks. When you’re asked to demonstrate stuff, it makes you feel so much better and more confident in yourself.

well, after 32 months training the art, I’m a Black Belt now, feels so goog…

hope you all get here, I’ll be training to grade up to 2nd dan within a year a hope.

After speaking with my instructor. We’ve agreed for me to leave it till April. I’ve not been training enough and there’s a few areas I could do with improving on to be sure I’m fully confident at the grading. Bit of a bummer, but in the end it should make me a better black belt.

A month ago I tested for my black tip, I not only get the tip, but a + pass, best test of the night and felt really great, now I’m training for black belt (this is supposed to be in Dec this year).

I’ve entered into the ITF world championships in Birmingham a the end of June, to spur me on to training harder for my black belt.
