I just remember progression through each belt is a lot easier in the US than in the "native" martial arts countries since the US ignores the mental aspect of progression pretty much. | ||

Japan is known for having easier black belt examinations. This is just a facet of their mentality. People in areas like the United States view the black belt as much more of an accomplishment, signifying at least some degree of mastery while the Japanese view it as merely the first step in a long journey. Congratulations on your black belt. | ||

What are you talkin' about man? Horse stance rules. But seriously, have you entered into any sparrin' tournaments? I remember those being very fun when I was in martial arts. | ||

I remember those being very fun when I was in martial arts. Yeah I went into 2, one I won a silver while the other I got a bronze. I got a silver for a fitness competition as well as a self defense competition. World tournament of Hoi Jeon Moo Sool was supposed to be this month in my country however, all 18 participating countries complained because of insufficient funds to travel and the federation was not able to sponsor them all to get here, so it got delayed till next year..

Unlike them we focus heavily on circular motion, breaking joints and locking, while inflicting more damage based on "counters". | ||
