Some good news (well, for me at any rate):
I passed my 5th kup TKD exam recently! Yay!
I had a total mental block during part of the Self Defence section but apart from that I did OK.
The SD thing was an escape from a grab behind. I've done it zillions of times before (in Karate, Aikido TKD) but my brain had a mega brain-phart yesterday and it just went clean out of my head.
Anyway, I passed and I got a "that was good!" from the (external) grading examiner after the test was finished.
Go me!!
At least I wasn't as nervous this time as I have been on other occasions. I was so bad when I took my Karate Shodan that I was physically sick everywhere. Ewww!!!
