So I took my test to see if I can graduate from yellow belt to orange belt. Things went moderately well — I only felt mildly embarrassed at a couple of goofs, and Sensei told me I’d done a good job.
Margie and Katherine came to watch, and Margie took pictures.
I assure you, I looked just like this guy doing my kata, Heian Nidan — except I had a dashing beard.
I’ll find out how I did next Tuesday. Katherine tests on Thursday. Good luck, Kitten!
Hope your test was successful. I thought you should know that things went very well on the ship although it became clear to me just how much our sailing is a team event. Leading a team is very humbling.
I’ll bet it is!
My testing went well (per my peers, and a comment from Sensei afterward). Margie says Katherine’s went well, too, and that Sensei had her leading some white belts in exercises afterwards that say. We will both find out on Tuesday.
