Belt Grading!

One of the things taking my time lately has been Taekwando training. I figured I'd be doing my next grading in June, but three weeks ago one of our instructors informed me I'd be grading this month. At which point I freaked out, and then spent a lot of time making sure I knew all my forms.

Tonight was the grading, and I actually did pretty good. I'm now a brown belt with black stripe, which puts me four belts from black.


I'm feeling pretty good about my skill level, but now the new thing freaking me out is everyone at the school telling me I'll be going for my black belt next year. Ummm.... (Black belt training is pretty serious at this school. They expect you to do four classes a week for a year with extra training on the side, and it all culminates with the Power Weekend, where you stay at the school all weekend and they put you through the wringer.)

But for now, I'm not going to worry about that. I'm just going to enjoy having got through another grading.
