Well, back to the question at hand. Me, I'm just a simple and humble 1st dan Kukkiwon BB. I feel I'm still at the bottom of the MA ladder with so much more left to learn. Damn!?! Just when I think that I'm doing something the right way, I'm corrected by my master instructor for not doing it well enough... :shrug:
As the sabumnims on our testing board said after we completed our test for 1st dan BLACK, "If we determine that you passed this test all it means is that you've learned the basic TKD techniques and you've simply just laid the foundation, as if you were building a house. From here on you will be ready to begin your serious study of our martial art". :asian:
