As many of you know, I had my first Tae Soo Do black belt test last Thursday. It went very well and I'm clear to move on to test #2 next month. Training for black belt testing has been an exercise in endurance, precision, and polishing technique. It's amazing how similar martial arts training is to the Christian walk; Paul knew what he was talking about when he likened it to running a race in 1 Corinthians and 2 Timothy. My involvement in Tae Soo Do has helped me learn what it means to endure discomfort for a short time, anticipating the results of my labor. It has also helped me to, gradually, be more confident outside my comfort zone, knowing that when I am weak, Christ makes me strong.
The videos below are speed drills. I had to create three sequences of 20 strikes/blocks and execute each of them in under five seconds. Enjoy! (compliments of my parents and the Studers)

First post
For those of you who are eagerly anticipating the first post on our brand new blog, here's the rundown on the "big stuff" going on in the Hardy household.
1. As of yesterday, Beka is now 16 weeks along. I took her shopping last night so she could have some clothes that fit. Thanks to Old Navy, now she does.
2. One week from today, I will take the first of four tests for my black belt in Tae Soo Do. Between now and then, I'll be practicing almost every day, attempting to streamline and perfect what I've learned in over two years of TSD.
3. As many of you know, Spring Break is hardly a break for us. For the past three years, we've taken on indoor painting jobs in our home. This year, we stripped all of the wallpaper and painted in the family room, dining room, and kitchen. We'll try to get some pictures up soon, but it looks much, much better than before.
Stay tuned for more exciting news that's "Hardy worth your time."
