home  David's Taekwondo Thesis: Yellow Stripe 2 2 2
. .. [email protected] Date Last Modified: 6/16/01	You get a yellow stripe on your white belt once you pass your first testing. For your next test you're told you have to learn the three Taekwondo student creeds, which are: 1. I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and to avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or physical health 2. I intend to develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others 3. I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively; to help myself and others and never to be abusive or offensive.   These are the rules of learning Taekwondo. They teach you how to use what you learn in class and not to use Taekwondo. for your advantage outside of the Do Jong, like by being a bully because you can beat people up and really hurt someone. You also have to learn the form called Taegeuk Il Chung. This form has several new techniques in it, such as high and middle blocks and also front kicks. In addition you start to learn three-step sparring, where each person attacks the other one three times and then you switch. Now more is expected of you in class, like doing better exercises and things, because you're not the lowest rank anymore. . . . . .
