I just got my butt kicked for a non stop 6 hours!

I just got my 2nd degree brown belt!!! I'm now only 2 from black. The test was 6 hours of hell. We all got yelled at, we ran, we fought, and some people cried. It was terrible. But the pain all went away when the clock hit the sixth hour and we all got our belts!

I'm so happy! And the best part is I'm going to WDW in 29 days!!

Congratulations!

One thing I do not understand, however. Why did you get yelled at?

 

[monkeyboy]

I get that at work everyday...and I didn't get a brown belt

Congrats

What Black belt are you going for? DS just moved up to first degree Red in TaeKwonDo, there are three levels of red, then it goes to black...

What do you guys have to do for the six hour test? Our tests aren't like that, they're just about an hour (and nobody gets yelled at!!)

All I can say is, what I told my own son last night, "CONGRATULATIONS!! It's a huge accomplishment to get where you're at now!!"

ROFL.......too funny!

CONGRATULATIONS!

(Yes, I meant that to be yelling. After 6 hours, we probably need to yell it so that you can hear it!)

Thank you! I do Kempo (Originally from the Shalon Temple in China). On the tests they make you work out non stop for about an hour. Then they divide you up into groups and you go outside. Then they make you work out and run more, so that you are tired. (They want you tired because they want to see if you can defend when your body is tired) Then we did about 3 hours of forms and breaks of runnings and other physically demanding moves. Then sparring. We had to fight eachother. We put on gear and faced a wall so you couldnt watch who was fighting. Then they taped you on the back of your head and made you fight someone your size. I almost threw up during this part. Then you put off the gear, and waited for people to finish. Then we got our belts!!!

Wow Sugermouse! I can feel your pain... I've heard of Kempo, now that you mention it! I'm not real familiar with it (no wonder why!) How long have you been at it? DS's been going about 2 year, 3 months... should be a black, but we took a few too many vacations & he ran six months behind LOL...

Well, it's time for your recovery now, take it easy on yourself for a few days!
