TAEKWONDO TESTING!

Foster took his first test to move on to the advanced white belt last saturday. He was secretly nervous when we got there... something he would never admit to. He did a great job!


Foster did a warm up session with one of the teen age black belts. He loved this. The boy was very nice, and told Foster to watch his technique in a couple spots. Foster listened to him. He did everything Master Kwon asked of him, and delivered a flawless routine. We were so happy!


At the end of the routines the "breaking boards" session began. Foster has never done anything like this, but we were extremely impressed! The first time an assisting black belt held up two boards. Foster hit it a little off and only broke the back board. They retrieved another board and on the second try his "hammer strike" broke clean through both boards. He was on cloud nine! Of course I had to go through the, "we don't hit every board we see... great way to break a bone" speech, but in the end I think he got the point. Only a class thing.





Foster went to class today and was presented with his white and black belt and a certificate written in both English and Korean stating that he has moved up a level. It is a really cool certificate!
