Another Recent Yellowbelt Here!

ColdRedRain

I just got my TKD yellowbelt last night, much to the chagrin of my mother.

I promise a picture soon.

That is awesome! Good for you. I just started my son in Karate (ohh big JW sin). He absolutely loves it. I love the rules, his sensey (sp) tells him he will kick him out of his class, if he is disrespectful to his parents, talks back, doesn't clean his room or do his chores. Stuff like that. My son loves his class so much, we use this against him when he starts to act up. They take little ones at 4 years of age. so my daughter will start soon too. I love what it teaches the kids.

Looking forward to your picture.

Good stuff, CRR!

That`s quite an accomplishment, a friend of mine just got his a few months ago. Lots of discipline involved, it`s Xcellent mental training as well. :)

That's great CRR. My sons used to take it but dropped out to bodybuild but it was so fun to watch them break boards and hear them holler all that stuff they holler.

From a green belt in Yawara, congrats. Have you done any competitions? I think you might enjoy it, if you are as agile physically as you are verbally.

Let's spar at the next Apostafest... Lol...

Congratulations!

This is something I wish I'd gotten my sons involved in....but I was living in the colorless Land of Dub where "violence" was outlawed (unless you were beating your family, of course).

Cool.

I made it up to red belt in tae kwon do and had to have surgery right before going to black.

If you ever quit, make sure you continue to stretch. I used to be able to kick over my head, and now I'm lucky if I can get to a 90 degree angle. Fortunately the reflex moves stay with you so I could probably still fight if I had to.

That is awesome! Keep it up,I took TWD and kickboxing for 4 1/2 yrs,got to my red belt and then got preggie with my daughter.Never went back...I still miss it.I think of going back all the time,but my poor knees.Rememer,always stay on the balls of your feet and never pivot on ur heels!Kills your knees.I hurt my knee once doing a spinning heel kick and I was on my heel,ouch! (sorry if you already know that but had to mention that)

Doesn;t it feel great getting your stripes and belts? I loved it.

CRR (and others):Well done, dude!!!

Shera:
That's interesting. I do Chen TaiChi and all the spin kicks are on the heels. It's noted for needing good execution, to avoid knee injuries.
