Intro
After several months of training, I finally got my blue belt! It’s definitely another big step in this very long journey. There’s still much to learn and train for, but today I’m very happy with this achievement.
On this occasion, I want to share some videos of my last taekwondo exam.
Breaking
There’s an area in taekwondo called breaking, which consists of breaking a special wooden or plastic board. The philosophy behind this is that you have to develop the precise technique, with the right accuracy and power, in order to break the board.
You have only two attempts; there isn’t a third one, as the third means obstinacy. So if you’re unable to break the board, you have to retreat, take some time to train, and develop the technique again in order to be better prepared for the next time.
Other techniques
These are other techniques I learned and developed in this level.
