Testing for Blue belt/red tip tomorrow night!

[Daniel Sullivan]

I am finally testing for my red tip tomorrow. The rank is of little consequence in and of itself, but it is another step along the way.

Good luck!

Good luck as well. I never heard of that specific rank, is it close to brown or black belt in tae-kwon-do?

It is basically just blue belt half way through. We use the white, yellow, green, blue, red, black scheme and simply have a belt with a stripe of the next color in between instead of using tape stripes. Regardless of color, the test is for third kyu.

I'd say good luck, but I doubt you need it. Congrats in advance on your promotion!

I read a little about it on the web on a Hapkido website, it stated that hapkido begins to become fun at that level so have fun!

Hey brother,

I hope you did well. Any idea as to how the test went? How do you feel about it personally?

 

[Daniel Sullivan]

I find out the pass/fail tonight, but I felt that it went very well.

I had seven techniques to perform and did them all without any pauses in memory. I got all of my language correct, which always makes GM Kim happy. Strikes are generally no brainers for me, as I am a taekwondo ildan, so I felt that that part of the test went very smoothly.

I had two breaks to do and those were not a problem either; a jump front kick and a back kick.

[Daniel Sullivan]

Thank you all for the well wishes! I passed, so my blue belt now has a nice red stripe down the middle and I have a shiny certificate saying that I am now third geup.

Tonight, we learned the next set of techniques, all of which involved an attacker grabbing both hands.
