The Story So Far

This is just going to be a quick overview of my history with Taekwondo.  I started when I was 7 with my best friend, both of us desperately wanting to be ninjas.  At that age, the strong ideals of discipline and self-control are harder to absorb, but being in that position, surrounded by these ideas, definitely shaped who I am today.  I had my temporary black belt when I was 10, but after that found it hard to progress.  Looking back now, I definitely think I wasn't mature enough to take the step towards a full black belt, and to accept the responsibilities that came with it.  By the time I was 12, my interests had changed, and I took a two month break that lasted four years.

My junior year of high school, however, I felt like I was missing something in my life, and I went back to the same school I had attended five years before.  I quickly re-joined, and spent a year and a half retraining to the point I was at before my break, and since then have been learning a lot!

I'm scheduled to test for black belt on May 11th, 2012, finally taking that last step! That is, the last step before I start my journey through all the levels of black belt.  Contrary to popular  belief, the black belt is not the end of martial arts; actually, it's where stuff starts to get good!

This blog is going to be my way of keeping track of my progress over my last month of training and spreading knowledge of Taekwondo!  Looking forward to this, not something I'm used to but I think it will be fun. That about sums up this entry!
