We tested for our Red Belts the end of June and received them early July 2009.

Learning Palgae 7

Now that we are Red Belts we have a new Form to learn called Palgae 7.  The form has 23 moves vs. Palgae 6 which had 19 moves.  It took me a long time to learn Palgae 6 so I’m a little nervous about learning and remembering Palgae 7.

One thing I have done differently this time is video my instructor doing parts of the form so I can refer to it at home.  It is pretty challenging to learn & practice a form when you have no idea what the move should be.

Red Belts are supposed to pre-test every two months.  The end of this month is our first one.  I am NOT ready.  July was a month of vacations and camps which meant many missed classes.  Now that August is here, it is back to Tues/Thur classes not missing any of them.  We have until August 27th to at least look like we are making progress in learning all new forms, combo kicks & One Step attacks for Red Belts.
