I have my 2nd Dan grading in TKD looming, 31st March 07, and I was (until last night) in two minds to go for it. I sat my 1st dan in March 1999 and then stopped training sometime in 2002 or 2003 then started again in summer 2006.
My instructor at the moment is Russell Dennis (6th Dan) and he suggested the grading so I have been training hard for it but I asked him last night about it all. See, he is one of the examiners as well as my instructor and I should be able to make my own decisions but being new to the area and having been back at training for just a matter of months so I was unsure about it all.
Anyway, after training last night we had a quick chat and he reckons I should do it. Although I do still have to perform on the day I now feel more confident about it. Here goes then and I will keep you all posted - crikey, I must have at least a millions readers by now.
Note: training at the moment is geared towards the grading and Cage Rage Contenders as Steve Elliot (3rd Dan) is entering his 3rd MMA fight on Sunday 4th March in Hammersmith. So, Steve and I had a good thumping session last night - see, he needs a bit of thumping building up to the fight and I don't mind doing it (just need to be prepared for being thumped back that's all).
