It has been a month since my last entry and I though I have been training regularly I just haven't had as much time as I would like to update The Seido Journey. Nevertheless I will continue my reflections when I do get the time.
In less than 4 days I will be taking promotion for my green belt. My application is completed and was signed by Sensei Marc. All I have to do is attach the picture, fee, and get it in before Thursday evening's deadline.
It's been a long road to get to this point (mostly mentally--even wanting to give up during uncertain/frustrating times) and all things considered, I am pretty confident in my material. I still train 3 or 4 days a week and I try to mix my classes up with pilates and endurance classes for conditioning and Kata, color belt, and step by step kumite classes to practice/review my material.
Max and I went snowboarding and skiing over the holiday weekend and we both got a little banged up--Max trying to not to hit someone cutting in front of him and me stopping myself from going off a trail (way too advanced for a first time skier--I didn't know this at the time because of misleading opinions from certain people...)and going off a 20 foot drop :O We're both taking it easy this week but I do plan on going in on Thursday for blue and yellow belt class.
All in all, I am definitely excited about promotion but I am nervous as always. It's like you know what's expected on many components (e.g. the written test, group sharing at the end, etc.) but then again Kaicho and Jun Shihan Walter always have new tricks under their sleeves.
