This weekend I went to watch a friend take her Taekwondo black belt test. When we got to the gym, I was surprised to see so many people. It was certainly a bigger event than I had anticipated. It was mostly children testing, but there was a fair share of adults too. Many families and friends came to watch. The event started at 9:00 with the kids. First the participants said some type of pledge, then it was followed by their forms, and lastly a sparring session. This continued for a couple hours as different groups of participants took the test. At 11:00 or so, the adults got to take their tests. We cheered for our friend and then it was over. Well, at least this session was...there would be another big group of people after lunch. Here are some pictures from the event.
