...my Shotokan Karate Grading!!!
After months of training in the dojo (place where the class is held) and at home, I will be in 2 days be facing Sensei Martin (6th Dan.) I have to fight in front of him with my fellow green belt partner George, perform my Kata (series of moves)and show that I can handle the basic moves for my grade. If all goes how I am willing it to I will pass and be awarded my Purple belt!! It'll be my 5th belt and only 4 more to go until I face my Black belt grading. My kata for this grading is called Hyian-Yondan, the moves look so delicate and slow to begin with until I grab my invisible attacker by the ear and smash his head with my knee, before spinning round and landing back in double Shuto (Knife hand block).
I hope that wasn't too confusing on those non-martial arts Otakus?

Last night when we were all being told if we would be grading or not - after I was told I was grading- it was the purple belt grades turn to find out. There was this lil guy about 15 years old - a cocky little purple belt (his ego was 10 times as big as Spike Spigles!)- and when he found out that he wasn't getting to grade he put on in shoes, grabbed his coat and stormed out. He statred to cry and finally the Sensei's gave hiom a second chance. That was not right, if he thinks he can do that when it comes to Black belt grading - he's in for a HUUUUUGE shock! But it was funny watching all the other purple belts (who had worked hard and gotten through) trying to restrain themselves from beating him up - they settled with calling very colourful names. Can't say I blame them - he's a annoying piece of work. Lol.

Anyhow Im running around with a huge smile on my face trying to control my butterflies that continues to remind me of what's coming.
I guess I should just grin and say "bring it on!!!" but Im sooooo nervous!
Anyway I promised Dad I would be Black belts for the both of us.

And I want to make him proud.
And I will.

Here's a link to the site of my Shotokan Karate club. It's not the best but how many other Sensei's do this for their clubs?
