Tae Kwon Do

I take part in a local Tae Kwon Do class (a martial art,) and I have very recently graded. Tae Kwon Do was once a Korean form of self-defense, but quickly turned into a sport. Tae Kwon Do, means "the crushing of hands and feet." To grade you must learn a "taoigeach" or pattern to show off your skills. You must also do certain attacks. As you proceed, you get different coloured belts. You start with white (linked with innocence), and proceed to black (linked with space, and overwhelmingness.) At the moment, I am a green belt.
