Guest guest Posted December 18, 2000 Report Share Posted December 18, 2000 Hi All Well made his Black belt last night. I will be sending in my account of things soon but thought you might enjoy reading what his brother sent in to the sibs list and how proud he is of his brother. Tina Bragging Rights Hello everyone! Guess what?!?!?!?! There is a new Black Belt in the family!!!!!!!!!!!!! As of 5:00p.m. est. Berger attained the rank of First Dan, or, First Degree Black Belt! He did much better than I thought he would do and our Quanjanim (Grandmaster, or our Masters Master) even brought him a gift. At the end of the test he brought out these two huge Christmas tins filled with popcorn. The first he gave to a girl who got all A's during her test (which is INCREDIBLY hard to do when being tested by our Quanjanim, believe me, I've been through two tests with him.....) though she got a B for attitude since when she went to read her speech (when testing for a black belt you are obligated to write a five page writing or three page typed speech) she was overcome with emotion and was crying so much one of our masters had to read her speech for her (there is always at least one person who cries during their speech, hehe). I wrote 's speech for him so that he only had to say the first few lines and then turn it over to me so that I would read the remainder. Near the end sparred (fought) three people at once (with intense timidity as always ) and finally he had to do a few board breaks. First he did a three board headbutt. Even though he only broke the top board with each try his head didn't hurt at all indicating to me that if he TRIED he could have easily gone through them all. His second break was rather simple. Just a roundhouse through a board. For those of you that don't know, a roundhouse kick is where you hit with the top of your foot between your ankle and your toes (at least in Taekwondo, hehe). ** thinks back to his first black belt test** You know..... Come to think of it when I first tested for my First Dan I had to do a flying sidekick over a kid that was laying down and break a board that two people were holding. The people didn't move after I broke the board and since I didn't want to kick them and fall on the little kid I angled my body down to the ground, landing on my ankle............ But here is the part I think is very wrong, after that and spraining my ankle I STILL had to do my first rooftile break (as did all my fellow alumni testing that night) only I had to brake through the rooftile standing on one foot As of recently they don't do rooftile breaks when they test for their first degree, grrrrrrrr. Ack, I see I am rambling again. It is just that I'm soooooooooooooooo very proud of my brother. Reaching the rank of Black Belt is an INCREDIBLE achievement considering his disability! Well I must be off now. Fare thee well everyone, and Great Job ! Woo Hoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Dear Nanc, Well I, too am going to exercise my bragging rights. , go Saints. When the Saints go marching home. I am not even a football fan, but it is one game that is on high volume and high alert when they are playing. My grandson paints his body with black and gold and has flaming red hair, so the cameras pick him up when they scan the fans. We can always spot him. Go Ducks, too. LOL L.
