Badgirl Jrs Black Belt Training

[BADGIRL500]

I had to start this topic because I am totally proud of my daughter today!!! As alot of you know she has been taking TaeKwonDo for three years now and since January has started her very hard and physical training for her black belt testing on May 2 2009. She received a black belt packet in which there is alot to do prior to her test. One of the categories in this packet is Empathy training. She has to be mute (cannot talk ) for a day, blind for a day and in a wheelchair or crutches for a day....Today was her mute day. Have to be honest and say that I truly did not think that she would be able to do it all day..Especially with Badboy Jr around....Well it is now 8:11 pm and she did it!!!! I am so proud of her.......She has not talked all day since she got up...I am proud of Badboy Jr as well. He did not antagonize her in any way. Basically stayed away from her so she could complete this hard task and she did..... So this is for Badgirl Jr.............. And yes we did go out and about today, which made it harder IMO!!!



:bowd own:

Wow, they really make them work for it AND appreciate it. The crutches or a wheel chair should be fun. I haven't spent more than a day or 2 on crutches & they suck big time.

Actually I think the blindness will be the hardest for her. I do not plan on keeping her in the house either. we will be out and about for most of the day....This is not supposed to be easy...

Thats only 1/2 of it...Alot more physical training involved! 10,000 pushups/situps/squats by testing (averages to 100 day of each), 150 sparring rounds, community service, etc.....Its alot of work, but it will be worth it! They make them earn the belts which is great!!!

Sounds like an awesome thing for her to achieve. I'm super proud of your daughter. Not many children / teens today would even consider doing a quarter of this, let alone all of it.

How will you do the "blind" day?

Tell Badgirl Jr, I'm supporting her.

Thanks! I will tell her. I think that will give her extra push knowing she is getting support from our extended family! The blind day will be alittle more difficult. I will put a blindfold on her first and then one of the eye masks that I will get from a drugstore. I will also make a little sign to put on her that will say Black Belt Empathy Training so people will not think we are too weird, I just think that if I keep her home all day it will not teach her anything, she knows where everything is in her own home......

I agree with you completely, she needs to carry on with her normal day to get the full effect.

There will be plenty of LSD at Orfstock for celebration of this momentous occasion.

LOL I had wondered but was afraid to ask.

I've never heard them referred to as LSD before.

I'm not sure of the origin, but I've used the term LSD in reference to little sugar donuts, since high school (1980-1984).

We never had those when I was growing up. I don't even think they have those now. I might have to scope out the stores when I visit again.. Or better yet, ship a few packs for the rugrats to chew on, and have mom and dad give me feedback.

I discovered that very early on after I joined.
