That reminds me, I recently got my first coloured belt for tang soo do, a nice yellow one. I found the grading easier than I expected, however I think the instructors noticed we weren't struggling and gave up a hell of a warm up for the next lesson.
The most nerve-racking thing was the surprise board break we had to do, I only managed to break mine on my third and final attempt.
Went drinking afterwards, all in all, a very fun day.
