As many of you may or may not know, Trevor and I are taking taekwondo while we are here in Korea. Our hope is to get our Black belts before returning to Canada, and just this past Monday, we got ourselves one step closer because we got our Yellow Belts!!!!!! Its only the second level, but I was so excited when we passed haha!!!
The test was pretty cool too. We had to break wooden boards by punching them, and then by kicking them. I was able to break the boards right away with my kick, in fact the board broke into three pieces... the middle piece flew up and hit the ceiling!!! It was cool!!! I had to punch two boards and on my first punch, the second board broke, but the first one didn't. I got to try again through and I did it!!! Trevor says I just need to follow through with my punches more. Plus we all know how strong my upper body is.. hahah (Sari, I'm working on it!!!)
Trevor had to punch three boards, and he was able to do it on the first try. His kick was good too, and he broke the boards right in half!!
Overall the test was fun. The best part was when our instructor gave us our new belts though!!!
I'll keep you posted for our next test and maybe even try to get some pictures, Taekwondo style....
