1st Grading

Last week Ryan and I attended our first grading since starting our "dad and son" interest Taekwondo.

For our first grading we had to do 10 press ups, adults on knuckles and kids and females on their hands. The floor was wooden and not kind to knuckles at all!

After that we had to demonstrate rising block with forward punch, we also had to do our four directional punch. The night went well, there were around 50 people of all ages and belts taking part. As a white belt I was one of the first to grade and watching the higher belts go through their patterns was interesting.

This week Ryan and I found out that we had passed, we were both presented with our certificates and had our belts changed to yellow tag.

Now we are graded as 9th Kup moving up from 10th Kup. Not sure when our next grading will be or how long it will take for us to come up to standard for it.
