A short clip from testing this weekend. I'm expecting more video and will put together something better when I get them.
Comments, opinions and laughter are all expected. :)

Congratulations, Mark.

Testing is always a great time in our martial arts journey. It helps us in many ways but more importantly it gives students a glimps of things to come and something to strive toward.

Thanks for sharing your journey with us........... :)

Y'know if you were nicer to those pavers, you wouldn't have to hit them.

Same with the girl... if you were nicer, you wouldn't have to toss her around.

Just saying... hehehehehe

It's ok... I'm testing next weekend on material I just finished in my curriculum with my teacher's teacher. His teacher brought the goods over from China. No pressure... none at all.

Congratulations!

Speaking as a grappler, I'd have some nitpicks about the execution of your throws. On the other hand I couldn't perform those breaks without using a hammer, so I guess it balances out.

Not part of the test, just messing around before class today.
Two 16x4x2" concrete pavers. Speed break.
