Last sunday I did a half degree examan. As you may know I'm a Firsth degree black belt in TKD and last year I retook TKD training. Afther some injuries and a lot of work my samboknim ask me to do a half degree examn (in July I will do a second degree examn) to see how I'm a doing.
Well I put all my effort in this examen and even it was a not perfect examn I felt great!!
Kicking,punching,stance,blockin/defenses techniques was very good, doing poomse (5,6,7,8, Koryo and Kungam) I had minor mistakes and took my breath away (I need to gaing stamina here),self defense technikes OHHHH BOYY I did them extremely well, sparring was awfull I'm too slow in this point, TOO SLOW, need to drop some bacon, my kicks were good but never reach the target cause I was too slow. Boar breakin was very good, I broke one pine board 1 inch tick with my fist and three pine board 1 inch tick each one (together the three of them) with a powerful side kick, all board broke at once with a sharp blow.
Yes, I need more training but my examn was not bad at all afther several years.
