CheekyMusician Posted January 14, 2003 Author Posted January 14, 2003 You probably wouldn't get tested unless you deserved the belt already. The thought that keeps me from being nervous during belt tests is the realization that if I deserve the belt I'll have it and if I don't deserve the belt yet I wouldn't want to wear it anyway. Takes all the pressure and uncertainty away. Maybe it will help someone else too. That certainly is a good point. I was actually thinking that before I sat the test too and it did help quite a lot. Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.

monkeygirl Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 Congratulations! That first belt is a very special occasion. I remember when I tested for my yellow belt (9th kyu)... I was super-excited because I had finally learned the white belt kata "H-Form 1"...it had taken me forever because the instructor had mumbled the name. I never realized that it was in the shape of an H! So, I finally got the kata and was looking forward to performing it on my own...and we only did it in a group! I was upset because they went too fast and I looked bad... I was afraid I wouldn't pass... That was probably one of my hardest tests, simply because it was the first. Congrats again! Keep practicing hard, and this kind of success will become commonplace 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.

Dablackbelt Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 Congratulations! I remember when I went for my white to orange belt grading. The instructor grading looked really strict.. Kinda puts you off...
