Yesterday (sunday) I had mid level test for 2dan black belt, the test for the 2 dan black belt is going to be on july. For this mid level test I had the honor to test before Profesor Ernesto Moran, he's an 8 dan Black belt and was one of the fisrt pupils of Grand Master Dai Won Moon the pioneer of Tae Kwon Do in my country, profesor Moran was bronce medalist of the first international tae kwond do champisonships held in Korea back in 1973.
I did the test well, the only thing I felt I was bad was in sparring, I was to slow and out of timing, I don't sparr in a regular basis so this could be why I colud not conect the majority of my kicks, afther sparring I noticed my right nukcles were swollen and my lefth ankle was unconfortable, I think I sent a bad fist to my oponent so that's why they got swollen.
My poonse was very good, my kicking tecnikes was good and my board breacking was very very good, I use punch tecnike to break one inch pine board, a side kick to break two inch pine board and also use a spining back kick to break two inche pine board too.
Afther the test Professor Moran invited me to a sea food dinner and told me he knows I'm a good part of the Hwarang Tae Kwon Do (name of my donjan) family and gave me thumbs up to keep training and improving.
Today I'm hurt and swell, my hand is like a boxing glove, my lefth ankle hurts a little so I realice it's better to use TKD gloves to take care of my hands, I'm not a child anymore jejejeje and need to avoid injures.
