My artistry

Today is a special day for me, martial arts-wise. First, I received my green belt/blue stripe in tae kwon do. The test was last Saturday. When one passes the test, the new belt is donned at the next class attended.

I also made the giant leap into Kum do by purchasing my uniform and 2 swords -- One is for sparring purposes, the other for everything else. Kum do is the Korean style of Ken do, the japanses sword fighting art. I am excited. The next fun thing to do will be to purchase the Kum do sparring gear. It goes for a pretty penny and may be a few months into the future. For now, it is learning from square one--what to do and how to behave.

For tae kwon do, it is more kicks, a new, challenging form and a further fall into the martial arts I love.

How far have I come? White belt, White belt yellow stripe, yellow belt, yellow belt green stripe, green belt. Now green belt blue stripe.
