Did the graft and rehab and I'm back on the floor with no problems at all. I suggest that if you want to get back into TKD, do so slowly. Start out concentrating on your forms, and spar lightly with lower rank students. Ease your way back into it. --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 19:49:05 -0700 From: "Josette LeBlanc" To: The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Dan acquirement Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Hi everyone! This is my first time using this resource. I must say I am very impressed and happy to see such a great resource available to all Korean martial artists. I have been studying hapkido in Daegu, South Korea for a year and a half. I study five days a week for an hour each time. I got my first dan within a year. When I learned how quickly I would receive my first dan I was surprised. I thought it would take much longer. Now, I am fast on my way to my second degree. I have also asked students in Korea of taekwondo and gumdo how long it takes them to attain their dans. They all confirm a year. My question to you is, why does it take only a year to get your dans in Korea, but it takes much longer in other countries? Thank you ^ ^ Josette LeBlanc -- "Be formless... shapeless like water.

He who is without sin may throw the first stone at this old black belt.......
