Martial Arts
Well, I felt like sharing, since I'm excited, and you all are pretty much my "online family" anyway...
I've taken Tae Kwon Do for a few years now, and this afternoon is my test for black belt! All of the students who are candidates for black belt took a written test two weeks ago, but now is the actual physical test which they estimate will be over 4 hours. Hah, I'll be dead by the end, but it'll be worth it! I'm excited, it means a lot to me! So, anyone else take martial arts? I know of a few people here who are black belt, but not too many. |

I'm back from the test, which turned out to be SIX hours instead of 4. It was intense, but we all passed! Now we have a big show in two weeks, with the belt ceremony, and then a bunch of skits and entertainment. The school does that every year for the new black belts, but this show will be even bigger, since it's the 30th anniversary of the school |

Re: Martial Arts
Haha, thanks! It's real exciting, all right!
Though I'd have to say that kolakoski's much more badass than I. |

Re: Martial Arts
It's one thing I always wished I would have stuck with, but sadly didn't. The school I went through was really unreasonable in price. They made you pay everytime you advanced and it got to the point they pushed people through just to get more money. If I get in the area of another school I'd would definetly try it again though.

So yeah, it's sad when it's all about the money (Wish we could live without it ), but if you find the "right" place, everything just clicks! |

Re: Martial Arts
Congrats! I'm still only a blue stipe in Taekwondo, but I'm slowly advancing. I also take Wing Chun, a form of kung fu popularized by Ip Man (There are three great movies of him). It's awesome to hear about your success man!
