I am finally on red belt just balck tip left then I’m a black belt it’s going to be very difficult and I’m going to have to step out of my comfort zone but it’s ok it will all be worth it once I am a black belt but that doesn’t mean I’m don’t with taekwondo

Getting my red belt

Ua ou i ai i le meu mumu, e na'o le pito mūmū e totoe, ona ou avea lea ma meu mūmū. O le a matua faigatā, ma o le a ou manaʻomia ona ou alu ese mai le nofoaga e masani ai, ae e lelei, o le a uma ona taua pe a ou avea ma meu mūmū, ae o le fa'ailoa o le a le fa'apea e le'i fa'amae'a i taekwondo.

At my school, black belt promotions require what they call credit tests. The number of credit tests you need to promote to the next Dan level is equal to whatever your current Dan level is. As a 1st Dan myself, I need to do 1 credit test before I can go up for 2nd. My opportunity was yesterday and, for lack of a better word, I completely blew it. I started doing the first of 3 forms and completely forgot how to do it less than 4 steps in. Then I was unable to get my board break to work. Practically killed myself out there and couldnt even manage to get a check in the box. Makes me question if I even deserve to be a 1st Dan to begin with

Failed my first promotion

I le matou aoga, e manaʻomia e le fa'ata'iga o le black belt le mea e taʻua o le credit tests. O le numera o le credit tests e manaʻomia e fa'ata'iga i le isi Dan level e tutusa ma le tulaga o lau Dan i le taimi nei. I le avea ai ma 1st Dan, e manaʻomia ia te a'u le faia o le 1 credit test a'o le'i mafai ona ou fa'ata'iga i le 2nd. O la'u avanoa o le aso ananafi ma, ona o le le mafai ona ou fa'ailoa lelei, na ou fa'aleaga atoa. Na ou amata i le faia o le muamua o le 3 forms ma na ou galo atoa pe fa'apefea ona faia o ia i le itiiti ifo o le 4 laasaga. Ona ou le mafai lea ona fa'agaioia la'u board break. E le mafai ona ou fa'atekinolosi i le fa'avaitaimi ma e le mafai ona ou maua se siaki i le pusa. E fa'atekinolosi ai a'u pe e tatau ona ou avea ma 1st Dan i le amataga.

Getting ready

Fa'atekinolosi

In a little under 2 months, I go in front of the Masters to test for 2nd Dan. And I'm terrified. I don't think I'm in good enough shape, I don't think my forms are good enough, I don't think my kicks are high enough or strong enough.

Most days I even question if I deserve to be 1st Dan at all.

Crisis of confidence

I se taimi e le o le 2 masina, o le a ou fa'avaia i luma o le Masters e su'esu'e mo le 2nd Dan. Ma e fa'anoanoa tele. E le fa'amoemoe o a'u i se tulaga lelei, e le fa'amoemoe o a'u i le lelei o a'u fa'ata'ita'iga, e le fa'amoemoe o a'u i le maualuga o a'u ta'a'iga po'o le malosi o a'u ta'a'iga.

I aso masani e fa'atekinolosi ai e fa'atauina pe e tatau ona ou i le 1st Dan i se fa'avae.

Fa'aletonu o le fa'atuatuaga

I've just learnt wong- yo tul. And I think I'm in love. I really enjoyed Do- San tul and got gold for it during my first tournament in Jan 💗

Favourite pattern/tul?

Na'o le fa'amanatuina o wong- yo tul. Ma ou te manatu o lo'o ou alofa. Na ou fiafia tele i le Do- San tul ma na maua le auro mo ia i le taimi muamua o lo'u ta'aloga i le masina o Ianuari 💗

Fa'atauina le fa'ata'ita'iga/tul?
