Sepulcher, your Tae Kwon Do seems a little different than mine. I recently got my second degree black belt, but I had no mid terms, and my forms are shorter than 81 moves. Also, by my 1st-2nd degree midway point I would have been in it for 4 years.

Edit: Scythe, 1-on-5 person sparring sounds magical. I've never had to fight against more than two people (which was to get my 1st degree black belt).
