Is this a mid-life crisis?

Purple belt is about 2/3rds of the way to a black belt. Takes about 14 months to get there.

How are you at dancing? I was a pathetically awful dancer with terrible balance when I started. But Tae Kwon Do is less about strength and more about balance and rythmic movement. Good dancers make natural Tae Kwon Do students... the rest of us get to work on our balance ;-)

Yoga skills are great as well... they really help in Tae Kwon Do.
