If you follow my website for long enough you already know that I train Tae Kwon Do since 1992 and I was about to test for my 3rd degree black belt. The exam was last weekend and it was really good. I posted some videos on YouTube, the highlight was definitely the breaking number four, where I had to break 13 boards with one strike (my hand is doing fine, by the way). Besides the four breakings and four forms (Poomsae), I have to perform several self-defense drills, sparrings (I uploaded the most difficult one, which was of me against two other guys). Now I have to train really hard to move to the next rank, 4th dan, which is the first "master" level. I hope to be able to test for my 4th dan in 2012.
BTW, the window below is a "playlist", so you can see all clips in sequence or simply choose the one you want to watch.
You can see some old entries about my Tae Kwon Do training:
