First off, congrats to all the black belts that were promoted. I'm really happy and proud that a lot of my friends and instructors/previous instructors were promoted :) Senpai Luke Mayes is now Sensei Luke and Sensei Marc Ravage is now Kyoshi Marc. There were so many senpais (3rd degree black belts) promoted to sensei...don't ask me to name them all. Also, Kyoshi Paul Williams was promoted to Jun Shihan Paul, Senpai Maya and Senpai Donald are now senseis as well.
Well, the week is over and the weekend is practically here. I made it to 3 classes this week. Monday (Kaicho's green belt and up class) was a bit of a train wreck considering I was so tired but I made it through. I was pretty discouraged that I couldn't do many of the harder combinations too well but I'm not giving up. Tuesday, I did kumite, that was okay. Another class functioning on very little sleep but I was able to fight some good rounds. Thursday was perhaps the best class (hint: I was able to sleep a reasonable amount of time the night before). I took Kaicho's senior kata class and was able to finally make some breakthroughs in my green belt katas. Props to Heather and Samantha (two other green/adv green belts) for helping me before class with Seido 3 and Gekisai Dai. Us green belts did Gekisai Dai for almost the entire class and I came out of it feeling way more confident in the movements. I think by next week I can take it to the next level of polishing my katas.
Tomorrow, I plan on doing my usual kata and endurance double header 12 and 1. Maybe kumite at 3 since Saturday is the only day I can take classes and not worry about being tired from work or having to get up early the next day.
