So as it turns out, I did in fact visit one of the two TKD places in town and signed up, and a hour or so later I had my first practice session!
It is really is amazing how much the body remembers after six years. I knew how to do everything, and the language barrier wasn't too great since I learned everything in Korean in the first place. They let me in with the rest of the red belts which was good since that is what I am, and I think any lingering doubt's that I should be there were eliminated with this first class since my kicks were better then some of the other red belts there, several of whom are my students at school.
Practice is at seven o'clock every weekday, though I have church on Wednesday, which makes four days a week which is twice as many days I practiced back in the states. On Wednesday, I think I will keep weight lifting with Mike after church.
Anyways, I feel quite sore now, but also good. In six months or so, since I am getting a foreigner's residence card, I can actually test for my next belt here. Who knows, if I stick around long enough, I could get my Black belt here.
