Well, I wasn't going to post this but then I decided, what the hey! I tested for my purple belt on Saturday (green to purple). The test went well and although I was very worried about my stamina and breathing (I have asthma), it went well and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I realize I have a ways to go before I get to bb, but I am one step closer!

Congrats, keep up the good work.
Do you have any goals you wish to attain with your new ranks?

Congrats, tkdKaren. How does the colored belt ranking go in your style of TKD, by the way?

Thanks! Goals...one is to get my next belt! I always aim to do better and to increase my flexability; kick higher and such, but no specific goals for now except getting my blue belt by early next year. (Jan or Feb?)

Everyone trains for their own reasons. I'm not trying to be rude, but I do not believe that belts are the best goal. Belts are nice, but the skills are by far more important and useful.
