Comment on Badge of honor? by Brenda

Thanks, Helen! All that’s left as evidence of my lack of quickness is a slightly tender, slightly discolored bump at the point of impact. But that’s three and a half weeks later! Yeah, there’s a reason sparring is my LEAST favorite part of taekwondo.

Tomorrow I test for my 3rd geup belt. (Blue with white stripe at our do jang, brown at some others.) Pretty sure I won’t get bruised during the test, though I’m definitely nervous about my board-breaking, since it’s a back spinning kick.

Hi Brenda — I was perusing your website and found your “Show me the Money” information. Very interesting! So I headed over here to say hi. I’m a blackbelt in taekwondo, but I have to tell you, I hate sparring. Unfortunately, it’s part of the sport. I’d rather be doing poomses or breaking boards. By now your leg is probably lots better. Best of luck to you!

Comment on Belated report on Blue by Brenda

Thanks, Fran! I really appreciate the encouragement, though I have to confess I got a later start than you did–so maybe not so much ahead of the game. But I do a TON of stretching to keep myself as flexible as possible and it seems to be helping. And TKD has definitely helped my balance. I’m seeing the difference in other areas of my life. (Plus I’ve lost almost ten pounds since I started–another great side benefit!)

P S…I started martial arts at age 45 and got my black belt at 50. You are sooo ahead of the game. Just don’t give up!

You can do it! You’re young and have balance and speed on your side. Just remember to never throw that kick unless you have your target in your sights. My teacher always said “Practice never makes perfect…only perfect practice makes perfect…”

Comment on Getting more aggressive by Brenda

Hey, Lora! Thanks for peeking in here! Okay, that settles it–I definitely need to start coming to the evening class occasionally, if only to see people kicking each other in the head. (Yikes!) Maybe it’s because the noon class is all adults that I’ve never seen it. I’m guessing the kids and teens can manage it on a regular basis.

Brenda, as your consumate sparring partner during the test…remind me, I’ll kick you in the head next time. Come to the evening class and you’ll see it fairly consistently. See ya on the mat soon!

Comment on Passed another belt test! by Brenda

Oops, sorry to take so long to respond, Jena! Holiday madness, then mind like a steel colander…

Thanks so much for the lovely words about my books! I haven’t given up on historicals, but they were getting harder to sell and I needed to do something different to stretch my creative muscles. In fact, I’ve written a contemp women’s adventure story involving scuba diving! But I haven’t sold it yet, alas. Big departure for me, but a lot of fun to write. So far I’ve collected several glowing rejections.
