home  David's Taekwondo Thesis: Brown Belt 2 2 2
. .. [email protected] Date Last Modified: 6/16/01	You are at the end of the middle ranks. Now you have a lot of experience in Taekwondo. You already know warm-ups, basics, most hapkido, wrestling, and sparring. The only new thing to learn is your new form, which is Taeguk Tchil Jang. You learn a new stance, the tiger stance. It is a good stance to do a front snapping kick with your front leg. This is the first rank where you have to pass two tests. You start teaching other people how to do their forms, how to do three-step sparring, and how to do one-step sparring. The hardest thing about being a brown belt is that you are expected to do a lot. You get push-ups a lot, unless you do a really good job. The easiest thing about being a brown belt is learning your form even though it has 25 steps you do most of the steps more than once. Taekwondo helps you to memorize actions better. You have to memorize the moves, the words, and the creeds. It helps you in your life by helping you memorize actions and words. For example, I memorized my scripts for acting and my multiplication facts really easily because Taekwondo taught me how to memorize and how to work hard.   . . . . .
