“Hey, Dave, you just stumbled and bumbled and mumbled your way through your karate belt exam! What are you gonna do now?”
“I’m going to Disney World!”
Or something like that.
Well, maybe it wasn’t quite as bad as all that. But I felt stiff and tired, and I made a few small goofs in my kata, and some series bumbles in my kihon (basics), and couldn’t kick decently to save my life, and did only mediocrely on my kumite (sparring).
Overall, a disappointing performance, for myself most of all.
I’ll be back in class in a week, to continue learning (and get official confirmation of my own assessment above). Getting back on the horse, and all that, is the actual important lesson here. That one, at least, I think I can learn. 🙂
