Red Stripe!!!

That's right, over the weekend I passed my Red Stripe examination in Taekwondo. I am really happy with myself right now. Best of all, my wife has began Taekwondo and she just got her yellow belt...it's so much fun.

But the greated part of the day was the board breaking. I was one of the last ones to go up (both being a senior belt and being the biggest student) so most other students broke one board (a 3/4 inch board) when I came up, they set me up with two boards and I requested a third one. Well, with the surprise in their eyes, they granted my wish. I lined up for a side kick (I would have tried a back kick on two boards, but did not feel comfortable enough with my acuracy to attempt and break three boards) as they reinforced themselves in case I missed and BAM - I blew the freaking things to peices. I even shattered one into three peices...I was very pleased with myself...

anywho...just happy today.
