Its been 7 years since I've stepped foot into a Do Jang, and watching your videos has motivated me to continue my training and continue being the instructor that I loved being, I loved everything about TKD for so many years even was on my way to my 3rd Dan but slowly drifted away from it. Congratulations on your achievements and please keep cranking out awesome videos!
congrats on the accomplishment and hard work, but you just wasted 6 years. tkd is literally among the most useless of martial arts forms in existence. I was a blue belt in karate beating up black belts in tkd. that was a "black belt club", a dojo with the goal of getting as many people to black belt as they can because every parent wants their kid to be a black belt. I started karate when I was 8 and didnt take my black belt test until 19, jiu jitsu wasn't until 22. 6 years is completely insufficient to even be a green belt. this isnt an insult though, most people are unaware of this. takes courage to join, discipline to stay committed and toughness to succeed. I do not say this because I want to be an asshole but I never want somebody to enter a fight that they are ill equipped to participate in
Outstanding ma'am I'm honored that we can share this with you after all these years and all your advise and videos and love for our sport thank you miss Alex and keeeeeeeep going we all learn from what you share with us and P.S nice brick and baseball bat breaks thanks Alex we are proud of you
Congratulations Alex! I was watching your Sparring Videos yesterday before I went to compete in an in-house tournament we had. I just watched your video in 2016 mapping out your journey and it gives me the chills that today you published you getting your second degree. Big ups!
Congratulations Alex! So happy for you. I think through your channel your fans have learned to care for you not only as a youtube personality but as a person, I'm very happy you've achieved this goal and I hope you'll continue pursuing your goals and dreams!
Congratulations and well done! Having just achieved 1st Dan last Sunday, I found it especially inspiring & timely. Time to start my training for 2nd Dan!
3rd dan. You actually look crisp. I like the energy. For anyone who is nervous focus your practice on intensity, and drill until you feel confident in your power especially in forms. Just follow through on boards, dont stutter in your movement and you'll get more breaks a lot easier. I found so many trash P2W Black Belt videos and you deserve it. Never stop learning.
Bruv pay to win black belts are so many. My taekwondo has kids which have black belts which if you have them a life threading situation, they would not be able to get out of it. Like omg
Just discovered your channel, I just graduated to Purple belt and this video was so inspiring. Im excited to check out your other content! Congratulations, ma'am.
I got my 2nd Dan in TKD more or less 17 years ago, A few months after I got my first ever driver license. The tests were more sparring-focused at the time.
Congratulations! You should be proud of all of your hard work. I just earned my red belt in TKD last Saturday. Your tutorials have been such a great help to me, I can't even tell you. Thanks for all you do! Do you think that you could do a few tutorials on board breaks with kicks? How to set the board up for an axe kick or the jumping side kick, etc. And tips/tutorial on what may be an easier board break (step through side kick) and up to trickiest but impressive board break, etc.? I would love tips on this bc I need to break boards in 2 months at my next testing opportunity. Congrats again, girl!! 🎉🎈🎊
Congratulations, a few of my class mates are going for their 2nd black belt in July. I like your skill and I bet you're finding Keumgang a piece of cake, keep it up.
Congratulations. I know the feeling of life getting in the way of pursuing certain goals. I, like yourself, took years between 1st and 2nd Dan. I was due to test this March for my 2nd Dan. 2 weeks prior to testing, I had surgery for a health issue that I'm glad was resolved. I'm starting a new job at the end of the month that may likely require me to move. It will take some perseverance but I plan on being able to finish and test for my 2nd Dan. It's not how you get to the end or how long it takes you to get there. What's important is that you follow through and persevere in the end.
Really love to see some one progress in there life.... specially some one who teach others... the only thing that they left behind there life.. Congrats Alex!
This is very late but congrats Alex!! I’ve been training in the art of Taekwondo for a decade now and I currently hold a 3rd Degree Black Belt. Watching your videos makes me want to keep training and your videos are always amazing! Keep up the good work!!
Hmm cool, but what's witj the stick, sais and crappling in hogus? Not really Taekwondo. Why was your instructor wearing a Japanese style master Judo belt? Did you get official Kukkiwon rank?
Congratulations Alex! This test was awesome! Lot of things of martial taekwondo are loosing itself. I hope i can make a test like this someday. Thanks (from Brazil) for sharing it.
Though no one's efforts or achievements should be belittled, however, I am inclined to say that I saw another belt exam video of Enshin karate, which is one of the full contact styles, where the student was literally dying out of exhaustion after being beaten by 10 black belt holders one after another. The 10 man kumite was part of the exam. His teacher was literally holding him up while tying the black belt after he was passed in the exam. Maybe because of these extremely hard conditioning and training that karate practitioners, especially the kyokushin/ashihara/enshin ones have so much capacity to withstand pain.
I am a kyokushin dan grade (exact dan is irrelevant). every style has different reasoning behind how they test and it should not be frowned upon because you may think it is soft. Kyokushin belt exams are like that because a large emphasis is placed on fighting spirit. You should ask yourself what is being tested? technique, endurance, ability to spar with confidence? ability to put combinations together? flexibility? weapons competence?
I have only ever seen tough black belt testing in a one person testing situation. I have never seen group testing for anything actually. Mostly, as my understanding of martial arts is that is it a personal journey. The black belt test is a culmination of blood sweat and tears and it often the thing you struggled with the most throughout your years of training (in addition to weapons/forms/ sparring etc) It doesn’t appear to take a long time (only based on my limited understanding and experience with those in TKD) to achieve a black belt; however, as a practitioner of Kung Fu, I may be completely bias though!! 😁 Great work and effort and dedication to those that tested that day!
Have you ever seen BJJ Blackbelt test in Roy Dean videos? Or Roy Dean himself when he reach 3 Degree Blackbelt? I dont see him being punched or kicked on the head or body to strengthen. Every Dojo had their own test to reach Blackbelt. In my Judo Club, we need to win a Gold Medal in local competitions atleast to go to Brownbelt.
Just wanted to let you know that I love watching your videos. I'm going for my first degree in three months. This helps motivate me. Thank you. Again, congratulations.
Congratulations, Alex. Awesome effort to grade to 2nd Dan. I am a 1st Dan in Karate, and am also working towards my next level. Keep up the hard work, and the videos, as although we are doing different styles, they are some similarities between them.
Well done, i did my 2nd Dan last October a month after starting Yr8 in school but it was a lot different from urs we did more technical drills and some knife defence, defensive drills and then sparring with knives I'm going for my 3rd Dan when I turn 15/16 yrs old Once again congrats on ur belt its an incredibly nervous time with theory etc
Congratulations Alex, looked like a complete test, which association is your school certified with, amazing performance keep working hard and always teach with your heart
Hi Alex You did really well ,as a Master myself in Australia I'd say well done and keep it up,you will go a long way. Cheers Denzil Ray World Taekwondo Oceania
Congrats Alex! Wow I didn't know TKD had boxing and grappling techniques. It looks like they had you doing everything for the whole day. Surprised to see such young black belts too.
Avelino Tuason tkd has hand techniques andas grappling techniques. The problem is most schools neglect them in favor of the olympic sparring. But is to the student to expand his/her knowledge in the art and look beyond.
Hey just telling im in the philipines i do taekwondo i am doing taeguk 3 i love sparring.I want to ask if you have blue belts in your country cause im a blue belt 😅
She said in one of her old videos that her 1st degree wasn’t recognized by the kukkiwon. It was given to her by her instructor. So this is probably only a school degree.
Well done Alex. that was an awesome grading. now as for some of the haters below take a pill and relax. I would have more people do martial arts, the world would be a far better place.
Its been 7 years since I've stepped foot into a Do Jang, and watching your videos has motivated me to continue my training and continue being the instructor that I loved being, I loved everything about TKD for so many years even was on my way to my 3rd Dan but slowly drifted away from it. Congratulations on your achievements and please keep cranking out awesome videos!
My 2nd Degree test was 12 hours long. Started with a 5k run and ended with 5 on one defense. I was 52 years old. I started TKD when I was 46.
wow that's amazing, and here im 17 and thinking im too old
Now this is something to look forward to🤗🤗🤗keep going sir💪💪💪
And owh one more thing wat is the last age for competitions? im 28 green belt by the way💪.

@@hammerlane3871 Do you think Alex Wong can beat an average man in a fight?
My black belt test is on this Saturday and I need some help on how not to get nervous
How it go
btw I know I'm commenting like 8 months after but did u pass and what are u doing know
did you pass?
Great white Shark it went well and I’m not doing tkd anymore sadly
Rukhia Aslam I left tkd and yes I passed
I just graded to my 4th dan last year I know the feeling of when it’s finally over and you passed it’s great!!!
you're officially a Master now.
congratulations ! impressive stuff ! and nice drone view at the end
Those drone shots tho. Perfect.

Congratulations Ms. Alex. You're very impressive. The ceremony on top of the mountain was really cool.
3rd dan. You actually look crisp. I like the energy. For anyone who is nervous focus your practice on intensity, and drill until you feel confident in your power especially in forms. Just follow through on boards, dont stutter in your movement and you'll get more breaks a lot easier. I found so many trash P2W Black Belt videos and you deserve it. Never stop learning.

Congrats young lady. Thousands of hours of aches and pains but it was worth it. Hold your head high.
Congratulations, a few of my class mates are going for their 2nd black belt in July. I like your skill and I bet you're finding Keumgang a piece of cake, keep it up.
Congrats! Awesome testing! I'm testing on Friday for my 2nd Dan and I'm pretty calm now, but I know that'll surely change as time gets closer!
Congratulations. I know the feeling of life getting in the way of pursuing certain goals. I, like yourself, took years between 1st and 2nd Dan.

Tested May 30th for my 2nd Dan. Very proud of my achievement:)
Really love to see some one progress in there life.... specially some one who teach others... the only thing that they left behind there life.. Congrats Alex!
Slick flying rear side kick board break! Never seen that before.
I'm so proud of you...I know I'm a bit late but I've been waiting for this moment for so long keep up the great work!!!!!!!^^^^
Congrats!! Been following for a long time, very much deserved!
This is very late but congrats Alex!! I’ve been training in the art of Taekwondo for a decade now and I currently hold a 3rd Degree Black Belt. Watching your videos makes me want to keep training and your videos are always amazing! Keep up the good work!!
I see someone having controlled or redirected jitters, and going the distance. Much to like, Ms. Wong!
Hmm cool, but what's witj the stick, sais and crappling in hogus? Not really Taekwondo.
Why was your instructor wearing a Japanese style master Judo belt?
Did you get official Kukkiwon rank?
There is so much weird stuff in here...
Stick is bō and there are weapons in Taekwondo
Congratulations Alex! This test was awesome! Lot of things of martial taekwondo are loosing itself. I hope i can make a test like this someday.
Thanks (from Brazil) for sharing it.
Nice, congratulations Alex. You deserve it. Now on to the 3rd degree blackbelt. Go for it (My 2nd dan exams are coming up in august)

Congratulations Super Video! Very proud of you! I will be testing for my Red Belt Sat the 28th! Wish me luck!
So happy for you, Alex!
Congrats Alex. You've earned it.
Too be honest, some people might be bad at forms and patterns because of the fitness at the beginning that pushes them to the limits
Thank you alex wong for all the tips for sparing i got 3 medal for tkd 2nd pattern team and solo 1st for sparing
you're awesome alex! I started my taekwondo journey and your videos really helped me a lot. thank you!
Congrats Alex! Wow I didn't know TKD had boxing and grappling techniques. It looks like they had you doing everything for the whole day. Surprised to see such young black belts too.
Avelino Tuason tkd has hand techniques andas grappling techniques. The problem is most schools neglect them in favor of the olympic sparring. But is to the student to expand his/her knowledge in the art and look beyond.
Congratulations Alex. You're a great inspiration.
Congratulations! You earned it.
You’re an inspiration!! I am almost 40, and an orange belt.
Congratulations Alex. Good testing!
i'm so happy for you Alex! Congratulations!
Congrats Alexxxxx❤️
Congrats Alex! Thanks for sharing this - keep inspiring!
Hey just telling im in the philipines i do taekwondo i am doing taeguk 3 i love sparring.I want to ask if you have blue belts in your country cause im a blue belt 😅
Mariah Todhunter low blue? Hahaha

Awesome video Alex, congrats on your 2nd Dan! 🥋
This showed up in my feed. Awesome video! Great technique. Congrats to you and all that tested! Hard work pays off. 😊🤙🐊
Congratulations, Alex!!
Congratulations!! I am testing for my blue belt in a couple of weeks
Congratulations! My son and I are so happy for you!
My second dan test was very hard, But, I feel amazing now that I passed the test and I hope I can get my 3rd dan.
Congrats!! I love watching your videos.
soon in a few months is my third dan test after 9 years lets gooooooooooo
Great job. You really developed your hand movements.
Congrate Alex ...I wish passing an exam like this...in my country they don"t do that ...
Nice to see your doing the same poomsae forms, that’s encouraging
congrats, I am just green belt 2
Finally!!! CONGRATS AWESOME JOB
Congratulations from Spain!! Thanks for yours videos!
Congratulations Alex!
Zen says the back ground music for this type of video is not appropriate.
Congrats 🔥🔥 it’s nice to see you do patterns
Superb ..Congrats go ahead. I will now try for 2nd Dan. But recently I have one of my tournament. And always liked to see your videos. Inspiration😍👍
You deserve it ! Congrats !
I just got my yellow tipped/tagged belt today! ( ITF style )
I got mines in April 2017. But about 6 months later, i stopped going as school began to get a bit heavy.
Very well done and much deserved.
Don’t know you, but from one fellow martial artist to another, CONGRATULATIONS ma’am!!!!!! 😊
Huge congratulations to you. Keep inspiring!
Way to go Alex! Congratulations!
Congratulations, hard work always pays off!👍
Congratulations! Amazing, I like your black belt test. Best regards from Ciudad de Mexico.
Good test Alex, congratulations!
Congratulation but I have a question there is any weapon in TEAKWANDO?
Not sai or sticks. Not in the ITF or Kukkiwon. I suspect her school teaches more than TKD and her second Dan is for her school.
She said in one of her old videos that her 1st degree wasn’t recognized by the kukkiwon. It was given to her by her instructor. So this is probably only a school degree.
Congratulations! You definitely deserve it!
I got my 2nd dan black belt on Friday Alex Wong.
Olga Rivera yay congrats!!
Well done Alex. that was an awesome grading. now as for some of the haters below take a pill and relax. I would have more people do martial arts, the world would be a far better place.
Love it!! Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations and many more victories to you!
Now time for your jiu jitsu journey! I see you as a jiu jitsu blackbelt
Love you master , good job
I got my 2th Don
Afew days ago
But your test is really more difficult than me
Good for you
Congrats Alex, Great Achievement, well deserved, and Hollywood is looking for you........ :)
