Taekwondo Belt Testing

Belt Testing - yes, with masks required. I think that should earn one 2 belt levels but alas, it was only 1. Red belt earned! That leaves me with (presuming I pass remaining belts) - red decided (red/gold) in December and red/black when I get to start training with black belts by about March. After that Candidate belt (red/black/gold) hoping for May-ish and setting my first degree black belt for August. That's moving fast but we'll see. 
Tiger belt test








waiting...

Tiger purple/gold earned! And with this, Kili is moving up to the white/orange/yellow class. In December at his next belt test, he will test for whether he will go into orange, yellow, or camo belt. 





Rosie did a midterm (4 required to test for 2nd degree black belt). They started with an hour and a half run up and down this hill (you can't see the steepness from this vantage point, but it was steep... I did 2 laps which was more than plenty) on a blustery 40 degree morning. Rosie completed 11 laps plus they did some kicks and punches.



Guess this was from a Rocky movie. LOL! My spirit also cried stop!










The actual testing/mid-terming was divided into groups of 6.  They performed this ranking form, bo-staff section, and 3 rounds of sparring on heavy bags.







Come December we hope Bilbo and Poppy will earn their first degree belts and 4 will be mid-terming so we might have the mats to ourselves!
