Joacim and Pontus took a walk down to Lyon and Fredrik answered e-mail interviews, while Anders and I practiced taekwon-do. He is a red-black belt and I'm a green-blue (the colors are white, yellow, green, blue, red, black). We excercised punching and kicking on pads I have brought.





For every promotion test, I have to learn a new pattern - tul in Korean, same thing as a kata in karate - which is a series of predetermined techniques to be performed with power and dynamic movement. Anders is working on a tul called Kwang-gae, and mine is Joon-Gun. It takes a lot of practicing to get the tuls right, and each one contains new things to learn and (hopefully someday) perfect.



We also did a lot of Tornado kicks, which is something we have done a bit at my school. Anders have never really done it, so I got to teach him something for a change.
