I was wondering about maturity in TKD. There's always more to learn even if you've reached the black belt level. I'll share my growth in TKD.
Beginner--->learned balance, coordination, form
Intermediate--->learned to control my power and speed, timing, distance, flexibility, accuracy
Advanced---->learned how to fight smart, fake, learned purpose behind techniques
Beyond black-belt--->learned respect and to be humble, learned to be very technical and to analyaze in detail of every movement i execute in forms/patterns and sparring, made up my own forms and techniques.
My growth in TkD went on a plateau for a while when I got my black belt. However, when I discovered to be more technical and analytical in my techniques, I regainned my interest in TKD. I'm still learning! there's so much more to learn. The learning never stops no matter what level you are at..
Please share your learning in TKD no matter what level you're at.

Good post Koreantiger  I never got my BB in TSD, so I wouldn't know. BUT, I do know that the first three you mentioned are very true. I'm VERY picky when it comes to technique. I want to be able to get whatever tech I learn just right, but some take years. I'll work on my BB in TKD and find out the rest

Good post koreantiger81 .... one that all styles should read because I believe it pertains to all martial arts.
I have noticed that I have asked more questions and picked apart every technique and form as a black belt than at any other belt rank.
We all get to that plateau ... I was there for quite awhile .... now I am striving to achieve my 'personal best'.

Same here, Kickchick.
I do that now. I pick apart EVERYTHING lol. I wanna know the "how" (how it works) and the "why" (why it works).
