Mac’s 2nd Degree Black Belt Test Scheduled for Saturday, December 2

It’s a really big deal when someone takes their 2nd degree black belt test. At Be Ryong, it takes an average of 3 years to get your first degree black belt, and then an additional 5-7 years to get your second degree.

Why so long? The curriculum is much harder: all the kicks are jumping kicks,  the forms are long and complicated, and the conditioning needed to take a 2nd degree black belt test is off the charts.

But 12-year old Mac is taking his 2nd degree black belt test on Saturday, December 2, 11am. This test will run at least three hours, most likely longer. So come on down, cheer Mac on, keep him motivated during the 1,000+ push-ups and sit-ups he’ll have to do, and cheer him on during the intense sparring he’ll have to endure. And as always, bring snacks because it’s going to be a long test.
