TKD Black Belt Midterm Testing
Abbie and I are required to pass several interim Black Belt midterm tests to qualify for testing for the next rank. The testing consists of sparring, board breaks, pressure point flow demonstration(self defense), a memorized form, punching drill, kicking drill, and physical fitness test. The first degree form has 81 moves. We have to demonstrate half at each midterm and perform the hole form at final testing (2 final tests to advance). Every other midterm requires a memorized weapons form demonstration. I am very proud of Abbie for working so hard. She and I hope to compete in some tournaments this year. I do not have a high speed lense. Therefore, some of these pictures are somewhat blurry. I really need to rent a high speed zoom lense for events such as these. Thanks again to Mrs Graham, the mother of our youngest Second Degree Black Belt Mr. Ricky Graham. She took all these pictures for us. Her daughter Regina will also be testing for Second Degree Black Belt soon.
