Just a little background, I am in very good shape, with great stamina. I am a second degree black belt with the ATA. The other day I took a class away from my home school in Burien, WA to Master Jo's school in Lynnwood. It was a holiday, so there were not many students, but the workout that I recieved was more than I had done in years. I had never left a class drentched in sweat like that, my legs still were in pain, and I was having issues doing my form (82 moves) the next morning.....In all I loved it!! I think that all instructors should do that in at least one class a week, make their students literally die, so that they know that Taekwondo is a serious sport. Since I was the visitor, Master Jo let me lead the warm up's, which lucky for me I kept it light, then it was straight to the hard work...I think I sparred 8 rounds that night, 5 of them without rest in bewteen, it was awesome....I will be back there for another butt kicking later!
