Red Stripe Belt

Today I got a red stripe belt in tae kwan do.  I started taking Tae Kwan Do classes 2 years ago and I loved it because it teaches self defense, discipline, and good attitude.   There are ten belt levels in Taw Kwan Do.  I just got the seventh.  To get that belt you have to pass a test.  The tests are given every four months.  The last one was on January 5th.  I set a goal for myself to get a red stripe belt at this test.  I practiced two times a week for four months to pass the test.  The hardest and coolest thing is breaking a wooden board, and I did it.  Here is a movie of the test:



My score for the test was 80 out of 100.  When I was about to be given my belt, I was so excited, I felt like I was going to burst.  When I got my belt, I felt a great sense of accomplishment.  I had achieved my goal!  We celebrated my achievement by watching a movie.
