Green Belt
I stripe tested tonight, Won-Hyo, and I got my stripe. Normally only a small step towards a belt test, but this is my first session back from sitting out a session due to a sprained MCL.
I sprained it while sparring, my opponent was aggressive and a bit wild so I was being equally aggressive. I actually like sparring people who are unpredictable, if I ever had to defend myself my opponent won't make sure I am ready and follow the last 1 step sparring we just learned, so I sometimes prefer a good fight. I remember I was moving to avoid a front snap kick and was going to counter with a round house to the ribs, when I felt my knee go and heard a pop, then the floor.
I went back after 2 weeks of PT, but I just couldn't pull off my reverse side kicks, so I dropped out that session.
I am back and have nailed my reverse side kicks and tested on my form tonight. Other than a few times my knee feels a bit tweaked, in addition to my other bad knee, I think I am back at it full time.

I can relate. (I tore a hamstring almost a year ago. They said it'd take 9-12 months to recover. And I had 3 months of PT! I'm just now getting back to my old strength and flexibility.)
