Good morning Drac glad to see you getting around again

Lisa you are the sunshine that runs MT so no-matter what all else says you are at fault for that
 
Pretty good so far. Looking forward to teaching tonight. Right now I have to get myself away from this computer and start working out.
 
If you don't mind me asking, what was the test like?

I don't mind at all! It was a special test only for those going for probationary or regular black belt. It was all partner work. We started with some stick drills (sumbrada, numerada, etc.) and sparring (with rattan and minimal padding--boxing gloves and an elbow pad), including a lot of moving in-and-out of various ranges (start long range, on command go to a sinawali, then to sumbrada, then hubud, then out again...). Then drills and sparring with knives, then a lot of sparring empty hand to entering to clinch and HKE on different things (on a low kick, on a jab, etc.). We then did some two-on-one empty hand and three-on-one with the one having a knife, with fairly good levels of contact (boxing gloves). There was more stuff like that--defend against a takedown attempt, again coming out of a sparring situation, and so on. It lasted about an hour and a quarter, with 5 people testing and another 2 helping out. It was tiring and you got hit with the rattan and the gloves and everyone left with bruises. But, afterward you knew you could pull this stuff off, unlike some other places I've trained!
 
Morning all, just stopped by for a moment

I am having a very BAD day today so I decided to stop sit down and have a cup of coffee before I start calling everyone in my office a tree and practice sanda on them (my sifu would NOT be amused) and then I found this.

However I am not sure who to thank for this brief calm moment in my day and Young Ethiopian goat herd or assuming it is a typo a young Ethiopian goat herder.
 
Hiya tkdgirl!

You've got a long way to go before you can ever aspire to ownership of this thread!

A girl can try, right?
