Green belt, it is! It was a BLAST doing the test. Usually any tests other than white and black belt testing is done at another USWC facility down 185th & Farmington, and is done on Saturdays. Since I couldn't make the testing on Saturday because of my taking a math test, I had to post-test @ my own school. No big deal. I didn't really know what to expect, other than to be tested harder than the other facility tests. My teacher knows what I can do and what I can't. Still haven't figured out if that's a bad thing or a good thing. Anyway, we went through class as if it were a normal review for testing --but I had to be on my best behavior. ;)

At the end of the class period, I was asked my vocabulary questions, and all the technical side of the sport. Flew through it. I was still worried about passing though, reguardless of how well I thought I did. As he was walking away, he asked what belt size I have. I PASSED! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

I came home very happy. But now I just need a job so I can pay tuition to go back and actually learn the things that green belts learn. :) oh well. I'm proud to be where I am.

My mom has a 2nd degree black belt in Tai Kwan Do (sp?). She stopped going like 8 years ago though.

I managed to get a green belt w/ blue stripe before I stopped going (hey I was 10).

Pumse Belt is optional (pronounced "poom") --half red & half black
This is just a mid-belt for pseudo-testing. The projects you work on with Pumse are to let your teacher tell you how you're doing on a more precise scale.

as long as it's a front-leg side kick, you have no chance. But if it's a back-leg side kick, you may as well sit down and wait for me to grow old and die before I get it right. :)
