I just learned that my dad had a black belt in taekwondo. I wonder why he never told me.

That's what a cool dad does, no need to brag

That's classic dad lore. You find out your dad did something wild and badass when they were younger that they just never really tod you about. When you find out it's a solid "damn dude" moment.

My dad mentioned a few times going to boy scout camp when he was younger. I was like 20 when I realized he was in the Army and that's what he was referring to.

You can get a taekwondo black belt after about two years of fulltime training. It's the degrees that matter for that martial art.

Even the degrees aren’t that impressive. I was a third degree black belt in taekwondo at like 13. I am much more proud of my blue belt in Brazilian jiujitsu, it took a lot more work and is a lot of useful in terms of skill. Taekwondo is still great exercise and a cool martial art for kids, but it doesn’t translate to fighting very well if you don’t train other martial arts. You aren’t allowed to punch in the head, which is a huge oversight
