TKD Continues
Just a quick Tae Kwon Do update for anyone who might care. I’m still going at it. I’m now a yellow belt, which means I’ve passed my first test. Next up is the purple belt with testing the middle of December. I’ve got lots to do between now and then, so I’m not sure I’ll be ready to test or not. I can say I am still enjoying the hell out of TKD. Classes can be hard at times, but more often than not they’re very rewarding. So far this week the classes have been great, loads of fun.
The hardest thing for me to do still is a round house kick. My legs are still not very flexible or nimble, so I feel like a complete jackass when doing round houses. I have seen some improvement when doing bar work and executing a round house, but when asked to do a jumping or walking round house, it just don’t work yet. In time.
I have decided, barring some sort of unforseen disaster or act of God, that I will stick with this all the way. I want to see if I can get a black belt. Check back in 3 years and you’ll know whether or not I made it.
I take my classes at the North Hollywood studio of Jun Chong Tae Kwon Do. Check out their Web site for more info.
