home  David's Taekwondo Thesis: Red Belt 2 2 2
. .. [email protected] Date Last Modified: 6/16/01	You are now considered a high rank. You have to stay at this rank for three tests. Your new form is Taeguk Pahl Jang. I like this form because it is the only form I know so far with double kicks in it. It has 24 moves. You have to do the moves with sharpness and power, grace and speed. You are now really far up the line-up when we stand by rank. It makes you feel very good because you are a higher rank than lots of other students. You get more responsibility. You are expected to do much better at warm-ups, kicks, punches, basically everything. People, who never give up and keep trying at something, get to be red belts. In Taekwondo, you have to do a good job. You can't just come to class and expect to go up the ranks. You have to learn and practice. You have to be powerful, fast, and know your moves. If you do all these things, you might become a red belt or even a black belt. By now, you have heard Master Wolpert's two rules of Taekwondo; 1. Don't fight 2. If you have to fight, be effective. You should never use Taekwondo out of the school, unless it is an emergency. What I mean by an emergency is if someone attacks you first. Most people never attack me because they know I know how to defend myself. I am confident and strong.   . . . . .
