Welcome, which art? How did you do on your test?

 

[matt.m]

Oh, I just looked up Chang Hon on yahoo. I got a Tae Kwon Do school that taught the ITF forms.

 

[KrisInTx]

well, I test tonight actually. Getting nervous, only 2 hours until test. I'm testing for blue belt in TKD (Chang Hon system, I believe). Thanks for the support!

Hi Kris, and welcome to MT! :wavey:

I hope your test went well! Come on over to the Taekwondo section of the Martial Talk Forum, and let us know how it went.

There are many of us here who have similar training and experience as yours (with Chang Hon, and other Taekwondo influences). We are more than happy to share what we know, and want to hear your insights as well. Many beginners, young and old (even older than us young'uns), who might have some personal experiences parallel to yours.

You'll find a lot of info here, but don't believe everything you read - lol Many of our members have decades of experience in Taekwondo, yet personal beliefs, organizational influences, and individual perspectives can lead to a wide range of diverse answers to questions. Many other beginners will offer their own, passionate input (sometimes based on misinformation, or a unique point of view), but take it all in, and decide for yourself.

Discussions occasionally become heated, but should never cross over into disrespect, or personal insults (you can report problems to the moderators if they don't catch it right away). MT (Martial Talk) is an outstanding forum for all Martial Artists, which far exceeds the others that I have observed on the net, and I am proud to be a member here! You'll find sections specifically about women in the Martial Art, philosophy, and Health issues (I see you are already discussing some - keep in touch as to how your surgery goes!).

I look forward to discussing your Taekwondo training in the Korean Martial Art section.

Welcome to Martial Talk! Lo's of mom's here and lots of plenty of people who started training in their adult years. Happy Posting!

First off welcome! And as tigress said, you are still rather young.. Tigress has got to be at least.. What.. 62 now and still kicks a great deal of backside.

(Including mine I suspect)

Hello All,

I'm a newcomer to both the martial arts and this forum. Being a 43 year old mom, I didn't think I would ever have the chance to enjoy the arts. How wrong I was! I just wish that I had done this years ago when my body didn't complain as much. I test tomorrow for my blue belt. I'll have lots of questions in the days, months to come! Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the boards and welcome to the journey!
