Hello my name is Norman, I’ve been studying Martial Arts for last 3 years, my current rank held is 1st Degree Black Belt under International Taekwondo Federation and I receive this rank in December 2007.
In my late teens I also studied Rhee Taekwondo which gave me the buzz into my Martial Arts life. Unfortunately my employment at that time interfered with my training times and I had to stop. But meanwhile I found a Karate club that my work hours did suite and I train for about 2 years in Karate.
I’ve done non-contact and full-contact sparring, trained with various Martial Arts weapons. But above all I would consider patterns to be best part of any Martial Arts.
I’ve joined TKDSpace.com as means of reference to the Art NOT as means to show what I know of the Art! Please add me as a friend in hope to gain knowledge of Taekwondo from each other and to create new friendships world wide.
I'm feeling generally preetty rubbish, but have been off work for a week now and I live by myself...so I think even if I wasn't ill I'd be feeling crappy! Getting some test results today and then back again next Tuesday to see if my 3rd lot of antibiotics have worked!
Lovely to hear from you! Did scare me for a minute because I do actually have a sore neck and thought you were psychic! Have been off work for a week and looking at a bit longer with severe tonsillitis/glandular fever (waiting for test results). Am stuck at home and with no training either I'm going a little crazy! Am using the time to learn how to make websites and may be building one for my school though!
My weekend was good. Got another bronze to add to the collection and more importantly my confidence has been boosted a little...was having a 'Why do I bother?' moment.
