Playground games in Tae Kwon Do?!?!?!?!

Yesterday was quite...strange in Tae Kwon Do. First off we lined up as usual then the little boys started saying that they wanted to play Red Rover. Our strict Tae Kwon Do master actually agreed! Me and one of my friends there, also a black belt, looked at each other and said "Oh dear". So we got into two teams and held hands (yuck) So people slammed into other people's arms and sometimes made it and sometimes not. Then, the master and instructor started to play. 0.o Everyone wanted them on their team and such since they were the biggest and strongest people in our class. Oh, and my sister is going to test for blue with red belt very soon! (Once they set a date. Which might take a while. *sigh*)

Beware of the Blue Demon!

A mildly funny thing happened at my Tae Kwon Do black belt test. We rushed from violin lessons to my house for me to change into my dobak (uniform) and hanbul (belt). I didn't have time to eat nor fill up a water bottle. My dad had gotten this energy drink from his work, and he decided that this was the right time to use it. So we got to Tae Kwon Do, and I was all pumped up for my test. As time passed and I became more fatigued, I became scared because I started shaking and my eye hand coordination was awful. The energy drink helped a little bit in the end, or maybe it was the water I drank when the energy drink ran out, but I broke five boards and a brick with various techniques. We later found out it was the Blue Demon energy drink that had messed me up. My parents and I were joking the other day and my dad said, "Maybe we should give it to you before violin lessons so you can do the vibrato!" But oh how we laughed over what seemed at the time frustrating and confusing! Anyway, I am now a black belt and am getting used to the responsibilities.
