Had my first Kumdo test today... I wasn't really ready for it, but I wanted to get the first one out of the way, so that I wouldn't be so nervous for the next one. I was nervous enough to make a few mistakes, but, did really well with the candle test. The candle test, is where you have to put out 2 candles, using only your sword. The idea is that you make a bit of a wind, as you move towards them with your sword, then stop just as you are above them. If you hit the candles, you fail. Also, if you can not put both of them out within 10 goes, you also fail.

After the test, I went to GwangJu with the Kumdo teacher and his wife. They went to Himart (an electronics place), and then Lotte Mart, which is just a huge department store. Was good to do some serious shopping ;)
