Hello all. I am 53 yo woman - just tested 2nd dan in TKD. Been practicing for 10 years now. 2nd dan test was one of the best experiences of my life and I'm still high on it (almost 2 weeks ago). I had breast cancer 3 years ago - during the time of training for preliminary BB and then BB. It was such a great part of my treatment and kept up as much as I could all through chemo and surgeries. The martial arts (and my school/community) is a wonderful healer.
Husband is 5th degree in my school so I can add in on couples in same schools. He was 2nd when we met 18 years ago. It took me a while to decide to join in - partly b/c he taught and partly b/c I never had any interest. I started class in the fall instead of joining a gym for the winter. Never looked back.
Also work as a nurse practitioner in endocrinology (diabetes mostly) and am interested in the experiences of people in MA with the disease.
This seems like a very compassionate community. Glad to be a part of it. LOVE that I'm a white belt again!!
