Congrats ColdRedRain. I received my BB in TKD in Dec. 2003 age 40 something. I was trying to keep up with my kids. It also took me 5 years and lots of hard knocks. In one incident while sparring, I slipped on the mat and broke 4 bones in my right foot. Funny (or foolish) thing, I took and actually passed my 3rd Gup test 5 weeks later. I have a picture of myself at the ceremony getting my BB, my right eye is totally black (to match the belt). Our BB test lasted a full week. I hit the dojang every night for the year before I tested BB. Nothing in this MA came natural to me.
Getting my rank in TKD was one of the fun things and major acomplishments of my life. You should be very pleased and proud, it is no little thing. Sorry to say I have been out of it for a number or years but still I think about it...
Any idea which MA you are going to try next?

Probably either ju jitsu or wrestling or some kind of grappling art. I might try my local Tae Soo Do gym.
