Well I did it! I'm now an Orange belt (1st is white, then 2nd is gold, and 3rd is Orange) in Tae Kwon Do! I pretested last Saturday and belt Promotion was today!
Me with my belt (in my hand) and certificate, bowing to the instructor:
Me breaking the BLUE board (which is a higher board than my belt rank) That is an "axe kick"
Me with my orange belt on and my certificate.
And my son, who is an orange belt, breaking a BLACK board (which is a black belt rank board!)
Impressive!
