I’m a red-stripe belt now!

I just got my red-stripe belt today in taekwondo! Yeah for me!

My 37-year-old body aches from head to toe since I’ve been training all week in preparation. But the test went flawlessly and I did all my forms, kicks and broke two boards with a flying side kick on the first try. For the first time ever, I got straight-A’s on my test. So I’m another step closer to my black belt now - just need to get my next belt, a poom belt (which is a black-red combination belt that makes you a black belt candidate).

If only I could get my son, who is a blue belt, to be more motivated to go to his lessons. I really thought that he’d be motivated if mommy was participating but that doesn’t seem to be working out as planned.
