I have green tag. TKD sucks though, it's just a scam. Where I go, anyway.

Congratulations though, you do have to work hard for red.

Green tag, how long have you been training?

I've been going for 8 years now, passed 2nd Dan a few months ago. Was very pleased.

Mid-Late October.

What'd you have to do for 2nd Dan?

Chu-Jang (ach - unsure of spelling) pattern, Taeguk 8, Free Sparring (armour) against two opponents, attack and defense, lots of 1, 2 & 3 step sparring and also cover tenants of Taekwondo again.

I see. Which one do you have to break the block in?
Personally I think the hardest thing about TKD are the knuckle pressups. For some reason. They just wreck.

Breaking the block was assessed in 'constant assessment', my most recent break being an elbow.

Knuckle press ups hurt but so do those push up, flick hands up to chest/clap and back down. Combine chest-claps with knuckle press ups...man, it hurts like hell!

:S Don't do chest-claps at my club, do these other weird pressup star jump malarkies. You know much Korean?

I know the basic phrase work, not much more than that. Simplistic things, like numbers 1 - 10.

Guh. They get incredibly boring after you practice them for ages. Know all the stuff like gunnon sogi, kopunde, an palmok makgi? Also major annoying.
