Senior Master
well just got back from shotokan - my date's been set for us me and friends to grade!
Sensei said i need to know:
Seiken zuki - Jodan, chudan and gedan
Gedan barai, chudan uchi uke, chudan soto uke, jodan age uke, shuto uke
Kata - Heian Shodan
Class was funny tonight.....fluffed my gyaku zuki while doing it (i know it but still messed up lol)
after class we have to sign the attendance book. Sensei said 'No one escapes' I, joking around with him, said 'Can I escape?' He looked at me and said "you can". Then wrapped his arm around me (i get a hug every class from my senseis who i consider my friends) and he said Now you go home and practice for your grading
sensei's hilarious! I was doing jodan age uke while in stance zenkutsu dachi and he kept bending over and peering at me from under my gi sleeve lol! and I said, giggling, stop it, You're gonna make me choke! cause he had me in stitches!
anyway, I have a nervous excitement, the same nervous excitement I had before my tournament on dec 12 2009. I am not scared or frightened in the least. I always approach tests - and the same with univ exams, with the attitude, I either know my material or i dont. and in this case I do. so no need to be scared.
My NiDan couldnt leave without saying hi to me - we are friends as well. and my brown belt friend complimented me on my soto uke ....said I was quite good.
I could use some advice though. so I have 2 weeks remaining as a white belt. Any advice you nice folks can give me here between now and then would be greatly appreciated!
