Temporary Black Belt

Well, things have been very interesting. I haven't been blogging because my wife and I have been preparing for our black belt test for the past several months. We went to classes at least 5 days a week for the last 2 months and 7 days a week for the weeks leading up to the test so that we would have everything as close to perfect as possible. We also took a test on the meanings of the ITF forms, some commands in Korean, and a few history questions. We made it through everything, including the 2 on one sparring, and I believe, after watching the video, that we both did a very good job. I had some problems with my jump reverse breaking technique, through 3 boards, but over all and in general it went very well. We now have our Temporary Black Belts, which we will have for the next 6 months while we learn Palgwe 8 and Koryo for our First Degree test.
