Oh yeah, forgot to mention...Jamie tested for his Red Belt in Tae Kwon Do last night...

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Dec 23 '10, 08:22

while he has some balance and leg strength issues, he passed all of the elements...including the flying sidekick board breaking technique. That was totally cool.

Anyway...that has him 3 belts from Black Belt...VERY cool!!!

Your kids totally rock -- nm - Epiphany Dec 23, 08:28
Red???? - grony Dec 23, 08:25 6
- we had red -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 08:25 1
  - mine was the same as Will posted. nm -- nm - grony Dec 23, 08:26
- It's gone communist. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:25 3
  - my dad took some form where there was a purple belt as well. nm -- nm - grony Dec 23, 08:26 2
    - yeah, we were relatively basic (Tang Soo Doo)....I miss it but I think I'm too out of shape to even consider - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:26 1
      - Once I become employed again, my daughter is going to go. nm -- nm - grony Dec 23, 08:27
What's the ranking system there? - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:24 14
- We have: - Jim Dec 23, 08:27 12
  - this was the system in my school as well (don't remember Bo Dahn, that might have been a brown or blue.) -- nm - TFox Dec 23, 08:32
  - What color is Bo Dahn? -- nm - Jovian Dec 23, 08:31 2
    - It's half red, half black. So he goes from Red with a black stripe down the middle to the red/black and then black. -- nm - Jim Dec 23, 08:34 1
      - It's essentially a Black Belt Candidate belt. And it's bodan...my spelling and stuff sucks. -- nm - Jim Dec 23, 08:36
  - Yeah, we had the stripes if you had reached the in betweens during a test - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:30
  - cool, then Red is significant, because I remember the jump from Blue to Brown seemed significant. nm -- nm - grony Dec 23, 08:29 6
    - It's kinda scary, it's been 16 years since I took classes and I'm pretty sure I could recall majority of the forms - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:31 4
      - I thought about going back, but I did a roundhouse with my bad leg - grony Dec 23, 08:32 3
        
        I stopped at green Stripe. I was ready to test for green...but at $50/test, I'd rather see the boys keep testing. - Jim Dec 23, 08:42 2
        
        I got to a month short of black belt and woulda passed the test....but had an issue with the instructor. - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:44 1
        
        which way does your melon lean? nm -- nm - grony Dec 23, 08:50
    - Yeah. He's at the point where the training gets harder and the testing is WAY more intense. - Jim Dec 23, 08:31
- this. nm -- nm - grony Dec 23, 08:25
I saw this on FB. Congrats. - Mel Profit Dec 23, 08:23 2
- Carrie took a video of it. I'll link it once we have it online. - Jim Dec 23, 08:39
- *nods* Fun stuff. - Will Hunting Dec 23, 08:25
