 |
|
I'm testing on friday for my red stripe, what some might call 5th Gup or 5th Kyu. This is quite an accomplishment for me, since I have permanent damage to one knee which imposes some limits on what I can do. I'm also 34 yrs old.
I will be tested on the following:
basic techniques, forms - Taegeuk Yuk-jang, possibly required to perform any one of the first 5 forms as well, self-defense techniques, one step sparring, and perform a board break. The "usual" break for red stripe testing is 360 roundhouse, head level.
The ranking structure in my TKD school is as follows:
Yellow,Orange,Green ,Green/blue stripe,Blue,Blue/red stripe
Red,Red w/stripe,Red w/2 stripes,Red w/3 stripes,1st dan black
Wish me luck!

Best of luck from a fellow member of the bad knee club!! I blew mine out in the middle of my test for my second brown. Had surgery and a year of rehab......and though it's never been the same, I am thankful that at least it works again!!
Do your best.......and have the ice ready for when you are done!! Oh.....and tell us how it went!!

Thanks for all the good wishes.
Had my test this evening, and passed with good marks. As I suspected, had to test two forms, not just the one for my level. Did Taegeuk Sam-jang and Taegeuk Yuk-jang. (makes you realize why practicing the previous forms all the time is so important) Got to do 360 roundhouse for my board break, and got to do self defense and one step sparring against my classmate of the same rank. We got to choose the one step techniques we did, just so long as they were the advanced ones, not the basic ones.
Tiring, but worth it!
