I just have two or three more classes until I test for my green belt on Friday!  I’ve been practicing my form (taeguk yi jang) obsessively, and have been working a lot on my kicking combinations. I still have to think about the counter moves in combinations #7 and #8 but less than I used to. (It’s that roundhouse kick in place that always gets me!)  I’ll have to break a board with a roundhouse kick, which means learning/practicing how to do it with my toes pulled back instead of pointed, so I hit the board with the ball of my foot instead of the top.  I’m pretty sure I have my terminology down, but I should probably review the stuff from earlier tests, since they can ask us those, too.

Then there’s the two minutes of sparring. Still the part I like least and that I need the most work on. I’m not quite as timid as I was, but I don’t think anyone would call me aggressive…yet.  I’m getting there.

I’ll report back after the test!
