monkeygirl Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 My brother and I are testing for our 1st Degree Brown Belts (last belt before Black in our system) on Saturday!!! Belt tests, of course, are always difficult, especially 1st brown tests. This test, however, is going to be particularly large, and there are a lot of adult students testing. Of course, I'm confident in my technique, but when it comes to a 5'2 100lb. girl trying to do a take-down on a 6' 200 lb man.....it's a bit difficult. In a real-life situation I could use any kind of strikes to disable my opponent, but we go for safety in testing and in class. With that said, WISH ME LUCK!!!! I think I'll need all I can get 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.

KickChick Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 Best of Luck to you monkeygirl! (and bro') I have a feeling you'll do just fine! Hey monkeygirl ... could you please tell us more about your grading system ... I am interested in hearing just what your "modern American TKD" (is it ATA?) school is all about .... what hyungs/forms .... sparring .... belt system and requirements to advance.
rabid hamster Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 hey goodluck! hope you pass. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.
Jack Posted May 10, 2002 Posted May 10, 2002 Good luck, monkeygirl! Concentrate all of those years of training into getting that belt and give it your all, I'm sure you'll do fine. I'm going for my next belt on the 18th... and for the first time in 6 months the underside of my big toe has decided to have some flappy dead skin. It better grow back by grading time!
