I had an elaborate post planned about getting my 2nd Dan

But there isn’t much to say other than I got my second Dan. I’m really happy about that, but I’m even more happy that I didn’t step back and I blocked my face and.. and.. and… I caught my partner’s foot as she kicked and I didn’t get yelled at! (I did have to fight twice, but Ali ended up being my partner for partner works which is more than I could have asked for.) I think in some ways I’m more proud of my fighting than getting my second Dan! Go figure!

I’m going to bed. These last few months have been exhausting to say the least.

(Also, everyone else did very well as well. I never sit there and just them doing karate, so gradings provides a rare opportunity to see everyone perform at their best and do they ever perform. They were all so good! I’m seriously proud of them!)

I wrote this on 11 February 07 when I was feeling .

    Congrats, I like these shimoticons. I imagine this is the look you give Ram before you roundhouse kick him lol.

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
