One Class Left

Until test, that is.


Nervous? Yeah, you can bet on it. Still, I'm oddly comfortable with testing this time. My techniques are solid, I'm confident I have them down (all 160 or so) & my classmates have been a great deal of help in preparing me for this.


Tonight, we got through Purple belt - leaving me with one question: Why is it, no matter how we try & put this together, we can't get past Purple belt (starting at White) in a whole hour? Oh well, I'd rather have the techniques right than rush through them. As Mr. Reif puts it, "You don't want to pass a test with a 'C'".


With only Monday's class to go (Bill, you'd better be there! ha ha) I have to still make a complete run-through of all my techniques to see if I have any spots that need shoring up.


Overall, I'm feeling pretty good about my progress. Test won't be easy - I don't expect it to be - because there will also be a constant attack part (Affectionately called the "Circle of Death") & probably some groundfighting. Heck, it's all fun so I'll make the best of however I do & hopefully the next post on HKD will involve my promotion!
