I've recently started going to taekwondo - my boyfriend has been going for years (1st Dan black) and after spending years telling me how fun it is, I thought I'd give it a go. I'm loving it! It's such a great workout, helps clear my mind, and I can feel that I'm getting a lot more control over my body (which, given how uncoordinated I am normally, is a big deal!)

I'm doing my grading for second yellow this weekend - wish me luck!

(BTW our belt system goes white --> yellow I --> yellow II --> yellow III --> blue I --> blue II --> blue III --> red I --> red II --> red III --> black --> dans)

Great that you and your bf have a sport you can enjoy together!
Good luck on your test!

Good Day. I've been doing Taekwon-Do for 14 years, currently a 3rd Degree Black Belt, waiting for my 4th Degree evaluation. I train under the International Ch'ang-Hon Taekwon-Do Federation, which is a spin off of the International Taekwon-Do Federation. I've also been doing Jiu-Jitsu for 6 years.

That is quite the achievement!
How often do you train?

When I first started, I trained 4-5 days a week, 3-4 hours a day. I went anywhere my instructor did, seminars, tournaments, testings, etc. Taekwon-Do was absolutely my life.

I've since changed careers, which has made it very hard to train or teach (I actually had to give up my club). I still manage to train twice a week for an hour a day, and teach my son whenever we have spare time.

Taekwon-Do is still a very big part of my life, and can't wait for the day, when I can start a new club.
