My dad gave these to me today and asked if I wanted to take them back with me. I'm sure these just look like two planks of wood but, to me, they're a symbol of one of the hardest journeys and biggest accomplishment I've ever achieved. This is the board that I broke during my testing for my black belt in Taekwondo. It was also the first wooden board I ever broke. Every testing up to that point was done with the reusable boards. I knew I would ace the weapons portion, the two patterns, and the sparring part but I spent months afraid of this board. It was the last thing we did that day and I went last out of the five of us who were testing for our black belts. I can remember as if it were yesterday the feeling of relief, pride, and elation when the board gave way. I'm super excited to be taking these home. #memories #stillproud #reversehookkick
