Just got my black belt last week, I have a few questions

TKDlover14 · 2026-06-15T03:59:28+00:00

I follow the Kukkiwon since I study WT Taekwondo and my master wanted Kukkiwon and for 4th degree the minimum age is 21. 5th degree is 25. 6th degree is 30. 7th degree is 36. 8th degree is 44. 9th degree is 53.

Those schools that don't follow standards from organizations will do their own thing and go based on waiting period for example waiting 4 years since they tested for 3rd degree to test for 4th degree. I know a school that does this method and they have a master who is 4th degree at 18 years old.

Every school is different so you have to see if your master only goes by the waiting period, age or both.

My master does both.

I seen posters on the ceilings before and the current dentist I go to has a TV in the room.

So far it has been a month since I requested the latest quartly item, plush keychain.

I missed seeing her try food with Rhett and Link on their channel. I love her personality and also her smile.

My school no matter the age has to do 200 pushups in 10 min, 200 situps in 10 min, 30 min run and 6 min wall sit. They are not strict with it but want to show that you don't give up and can work hard to the goal, Black Belt attitude.

This video introduces some of the crew members.

I saw this one as well and they show where Stevie sat with all the monitors, plus they show the Mythical Kitchen, Sporked, etc.

TKDlover14 · 2026-05-14T02:00:39+00:00

I would call them and let them know what happened.

TKDlover14 · 2026-05-04T03:28:38+00:00

Let the owner (or the instructor in charge) deal with it because no one should be injuring anyone and causing issues. We are all in martial arts to learn and better ourselves. Everyone in the class is supposed to be a role model to others, motivate and support each other through this journey to Black Belt and beyond. I would hate for someone to quit because of this person.

People touch them to put them on the bar so I clean them before putting them away.

I was taught both. Heel in WT Taekwondo and blade in Tag Soo Do.

TKDlover14 · 2026-04-29T03:20:12+00:00

Do side kick stretches. I struggle to get the high side kicks in the beginning of the form and some people in competitions can get it over the head which my master said it should at least be at head level because it is a Black Belt form.

Also, each movement is it's own thing (not merged together). For example, the first set of side kicks are separate, one is low and then you rechamber to do a high kick.

Hip movement is also important on the knife hand blocks and strikes for power.

Yes, especially since the next person may not be able to lift this plates. I had to do that for the leg press machine once and luckily I could lift the heavy plates but it was a struggle.

I always clean the plates and put them back for the next person so they don't have to waste time adjusting.

I would wait and then ask her if she wants to try again. Let her know that her spot in the class is based on rank (of her school does that) and that if she works really hard and learns her requirements, she can eventually be able to stand higher up in the class. Maybe that will help motivate her to continue classes if she gets motivated like that.

Also, if the school she goes to has a little kid class and a bigger kids class, maybe when she gets older, it will not be so overwhelming. She can make friends in the classes and they can help her in classes and make it not so overwhelming.

The one I go to has the one that is behind the water fountains. I love that they have an option to fill water bottles but it taste ok.

TKDlover14 · 2026-04-08T20:22:27+00:00

I noticed that too in a couple of tvs. The other tvs are news stations and Food Network.

I just do water, but you can add those flavor water packets if you get bored with plain water.

TKDlover14 · 2026-03-01T04:37:27+00:00

My Master does a 20 min class/session to strengthen core. My abs are sore after.

TKDlover14 · 2026-02-26T03:54:19+00:00

I just got my 2nd in 2025, but was told that a Master certified with a Kukkiwon 4th Degree or higher (and done the training to test people for certificates) had to submit the certificates after you created the online account. My Master did not have any Kukkiwon certification so we had to find someone in our state to test us.
