You are now in the middle
of the middle ranks. You have to learn the form
called Taeguk Oh Jang. This form is my favorite
because it has two sweeping hammer fists and two
elbow strikes. In my training, I went to
three competitions as a purple belt. Tournaments
are an event where a numerous amount of people go
and compete. They are competing for medals (gold,
silver and bronze) for Poomse (forms) and Kyuroogi
(sparring). For me, competitions are
rough and uneasy. There are a lot of other ranks
that are as good as me. I learn that you are not
always the best in your rank, height, weight and
gender. The good part about tournaments is that you
get a chance to win medals. At our school, you have to
do three competitions outside the school to get
your black belt. That and getting medals and
getting better is probably why I went to so many
competitions when I was a purple belt. At that
time, I was thinking a lot about becoming a black
belt. I was looking forward to becoming a black
belt because I wanted to have lots of respect from
all the students. . . . . . Korean
