I have taken up Tae Kwon Do. It has been really fun. I tested for my green belt today. I did okay with everything but the board break. I had to hold my own board and break it with a knife-hand strike. After three tries, I had to try a different break. I broke the board with a palm strike. Not quite as rewarding, but I know what I did wrong. I believe I still passed, but this board break is stuck in my craw.
Shortly after I got my green, I went to my first tournament. I lost my first two fights as a green belt. In the video, I'm much more tired than I look. I was exhausted - like I couldn't even lift my legs to kick.
