On November 6, 2009 Dan Andersen successfully tested for 1st Dan black belt at American Taekwondo & Fitness in Eau Claire, WI.
For the test, he was judged on his perfomance of Koryo and the Taegeuk forms Sa Jang, Ou Jang, and Pal Jang. This was followed by one-step freestyle and self-defense techniques. Then three rounds of free-sparring. Dan had 4 board breaking techniques to demonstrate. His choice was a jump, spinning crescent kick. The judges then gave their choices of a spinning heel kick through 2 boards, a drop punch, and tornado axe kick. An essay was prepared, but will be read at a later date.
Congratulations to all the other testers. A job well done by all.
