I'm a yellow belt, and there's this black belt 2nd Dan named Roy. When we were sparring, I raised my leg to kick him, and he blocked it and moved in to punch my solar plexus. Before I realised I was winded, he kicked me (lightly) in the side of the head. He moved so fast I couldn't even register how to defend myself before I was getting pummeled.
Although Taekwondo is a non-contact sport, and it isn't the greatest martial arts out there, Roy's pretty much mastered it. He's fast and strong enough to kick my *** regardless of TKD's reputation. I don't want to hear about unfair pairings between the belts, I just want to know if there's someone I can improve enough to outspar the guy. Will I ever be able to defend myself against him? How?
