I know the waiting is killing me.The grandmaster comes and does the testing so it is not up to my instructer if we pass or not.He has about 10 schools under him I guess that is why it takes a couple weeks.

Results will not be in for another week or two but I fill really good about it.My instructer said I done good so I'm pretty pumped.Only bad thing is I have to work out of town for the next month so only get to train on saturdays.There are no MA schools of any kind with in 40 miles of where I am.

Thanks guys for the advice.Things went good.I was in the zone I guess I can't even remember doing my forms.

How do you guys and gals shake off the jitters before testing.All advice will be welcomed

that's another funny thing his 9th i2 from the wtf.

Here is a little info on the Gm that I found.I will ask my instructor tommorrow after class for more info. [The KIM SCHOOL is an association of Tae Kwon Do schools under the leadership of Grandmaster Ju Hun Kim. Grandmaster Kim is a former Korean national champion, instructor for the Republic of Korea's army, and graduate of Kyong Hee University. A student of General Choi, Grandmaster Kim was one of the pioneers of Tae Kwon Do in the U.S., and is one of only a handful of martial artists to earn the 9th degree rank.]

I know what you mean.My intrructor is not a big man but he sure has rang my bell a few times with kicks to the head .I would hate to go full contact with him.I see all these people blasting tae kwon do as a joke but I have really been impressed by this school.My instructor has also studied tukong moosul.He does alot of self defense stuff using everything belts,cane,etc. etc.We just order a bunch of mats we they get here next week we start takedowns too.

Here is a link to one of Gm Kim's schools It has a list of forms per rank.It shows Po-eun as the second Dan form.http://www.theweightclub.com/kimschooloftaekwondo/aboutTKD.html

My school is a Moo Duk Kwan Tae Kwon Do school.We do the ITF forms but with out the sinewave.We have a lot of twist in the movements but we try to remain level through out the forms.I have been told that is the way GM Hee Il Cho shows them in his books.Does anyone else do them this way.Our school is under GM Ju Hun Kim based in Charlotte N.C.

Thanks.We do the ITF forms but without the sinewave.We really put alot of twist in the movments but try to remain level through the forms.Anyone else do them this way?Our school is under GM Ju Hun Kim based in Charlotte North Carolina.

Hello been reading you guy's and gal's posts for a couple weeks now.I have picked up alot of good info from Ya'll.So I thought I would introduce myself.I am 30 year old male.I am training in tae kwon do at present.I have also trained in goju ryu.The school I am training in now trains the true fighting tae kwon do.Our instructor has also studied tukong moosul.He incorporates alot of the self defence stuff from tukong.Looking forward to learning from the experience that is here on this site.
