I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm a LOT better than I was when I first started, but I STILL have a long way to go. I know that I'm at the point where there's a few things I can do perfectly (this is directly from my instructor), but I still need lots of practice to get my techniques crisp, clean and powerful. And I need to remember to kihap when I'm supposed to. I'm getting there. Slowly.

Other than TKD, my hobbies are: -reading -listening to music -playing guitar -making jewelry -collecting anime/manga -watching movies -playing video/computer games -cooking (sometimes)

I was influenced by the Power Rangers, WMAC Masters, and Ninja Turtles. Gawds, I'm suck a geek!

I picked 'other'. Here's the reason why: I've been interested in the martial arts for some time, so when my mom offered to pay for lessons, I jumped at the chance. My mom found a YMCA that was offering TKD. When my instructor switched Y's, I went with him. I'm still with him, by the way!

I might not be the only on on this forum who does this, but I KNOW for a fact that I'm the only one who can do this in my TKD class. The "this" I'm talking about is: being able to put my chest ALL the way to the floor when we do the butterfly stretch.

I started when I was 17.

Something in the entertainment industry. Hopefully something creative! Other than that, I don't know.

I'm nowhere NEAR 40 (and I won't even BE 40 for another 15 years), but I'm planning on training after 40.

bearich, you stole my answer! The REAL answer: Norfolk, VA

Would anyone consider the 2 boards I broke as memorabilia? Becuz my instructor signed them.

KISS, in August 2004

I sing(my mom says I'm good, but I think she HAS to say that cuz she's my mom!), play piano & guitar(both acoustic & electric). And, if I actually practiced more often on my guitar, I'd be MUCH faster than I currently am.

My resolutions are: 1. Get my blue belt. 2. Break a board without breaking my hand. 3. Get more aggressive. 4. Get better grades in school. 5. Find a job, cuz-- I need money! I'm tired of being a poor, broke college student.

What's wrong with this!! When I listen to music, if I even remotely know the song, it turns into a kareoke session. It may be annoying to the people around you.

Cosmo Shojo Beat Black Belt

KISS, Poison, Twisted Sister, Dio, Judas Priest, RENT soundtrack The only problem is, sometimes I start singing as I'm listening.

The one thing I REALLY want, is my mom's friend to move back to the east coast. Cuz we really miss her. That, and a boyfriend. And total control of the world. But, if that's too much, I'd like sewing lessons. I'd like to make an anime costume to wear to next year's Nekocon.

How do I get more aggressive in Tae kwon do? I have a huge problem with being aggressive in class; like, not being aggressive. I'm so used to being quiet & shy in my normal life it kind of leaks over into class. So, I need help!

My instructor gave me some homework for next class. I'm supposed to find what makes Tae Geuk Sa Jang different from the first 3 poomse(which are Il Jang, Yee Jang, & Sam Jang)? I've gone over them like, a billion times, I've looked over my notes(I wrote the poomse down in a notebook), and I STILL have NO clue what makes Sa Jang different. Please help me! I'm desperate!

I'm 25.

I'm 25.

I think that would be 'Best of the Best'

WTF TKD

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I think I'm going to start competing. So I (being a COMPLETE newbie at this) need to know what a first-timer should expect? Or tips/ things I SHOULD know before I compete. I just don't want to make an idiot of myself.
