"You're Still Doing Taekwondo?"

"You're Still Doing Taekwondo?"
Since my second dan test, I've been asked, by five different people, a variation of this question:
You're still doing taekwondo, even though you already did your second dan test?
What an odd, odd question.
I went to taekwondo last night and tonight. Last night I managed to pull the inside of both thigh muscles, doing—of all things!—a grapevine across the floor. I also managed to jam my toenail against the top of my shoe when I was trying to put it on, and a bruise mysteriously appeared on my shin.
Hmm. Why am I still going again?

Because you're addicted, like the rest of us.
Huh. I didn't realize there were "ending" points to martial arts. Do people think the highest ranking belts of any discipline don't still practice regularly?

Well, I think most people do quit after 1 dan (in the States; Master said at our studio, most quit after 2 dan). I know some studios won't embroider your name on a black belt till you've had it for a year, as a way to try and keep people around.
