Tae Kwon Do

So, here I am (don't I look tan?!) receiving my White Belt (below) from that days instructor. I also had to recite the student creed in front of the class. I was a little nervous about that, but did alright. I had asked someone to record a video clip, but somehow it never turned out-- sorry Ken! When I advance to a Gold Belt in August I will make sure that it is recorded. I try and go 6 days a week. This sure has made this past week really busy!!

When I started classes I hated them! I was really crappy at all the moves and felt so inadequate. However, that changed the third day when we were paired up, and I got this awesome partner. He gave me really good tips and encouragement, and now we're buddies. You maybe asking your self 'what made you sign up for Tae Kwon Do??' and I'm about to tell you. Well, a friend at work is a Purple Belt, and said I would have fun if i joined. I thought she would be in class with me, and I had been looking for an exercise partner, so I decided this would be my chance. I told Ken about it and he was SOOO excited, so I couldn't not do it. The next day, she told me that she actually wouldn't be in my class because she needs purple level classes. Oh how I wanted to not sign up so badly...but because I already told Ken, I decided that I would for the summer special. It didn't help that the first few classes didn't go well. However, I really enjoy class now & especially since I've made a few friends!
