Last month I made a post about taking up tae-kwon-do. Well, I'm happy to report that last Saturday, I moved up to the yellow belt rank! Hooray....!!!
Now comes the task of learning a new form. I'm excited about it, but at the same time, a bit intimidated. I just got the white belt form down, and now I have to learn a new one. But, I'm going to do it. I can't back down now.
I have found tae-kwon-do to be a bit dangerous though. During class, we were learning new kicks and as I jumped up, I slipped and fell backwards toward the ground. I wasn't on the floor mats, and I landed on my right arm, just below the elbow. Talk about pain. I also strained a leg muscle. Go figure.
Perhaps if I can do all this damage to myself, if I get into a situation where I need to use my techniques, my enemy would get quite a bit of damage as well! ;)
