About a week ago, I took my 6th
gup blue belt test for Tae Kwon Do. This was my goal for 2014. So now, I am
halfway to 1st degree black. J
The first part of the test was kicks.

I’m
on the right in this photo doing a kick.

There are 14 different kinds of kicks that I
did. After that, we did blocks and stances. There are 4 stances and 12 blocks.

a block.

Next we did forms. I know 5 forms. Their names
were: Kebon-1, Chonji, Tan-Gun, Peon-1, and Won-Hyo. Then we went over our
vocabulary, starting all the way back from Gold Belt.
Next came self-defense. We had to escape from
a front-choke, wrist-grab, headlock, back-choke, bear hug, and full nelson.
Then came one-steps. These included two basics and three advanced. Finally, we
got to the sparring!!!!

“Biggy.” J

We sparred a lot of rounds. I even sparred two at once!
I enjoyed the test (well . . . kind of. It
was a good one most of the time.) The tests usually end at about 10:45 p.m.,
but this one ended before 9:00 p.m. That gave my family and me time to go out
for ice cream afterward! J
I love Tae-Kwon-Do, and am working hard for
the next belt!

Thank you for your comment, Aunt Debbie! The next belt is blue with a black stripe in the middle. Hopefully I'll get to earn it soon!
