Great job DKizzle.

Thanks everyone. I'm excited that now I'll be learning some new techniques.

I think I broke my toe today during my yellow belt test. I say "I think" because I heard a snap, and it hurts. Another student was demonstrating a maneuver and I was punching in. Unfortunately, us both being white belts and uncoordinated, our feet ended up in the same place but her ankle was stronger than my 2nd little toe. SNAP. There was even a little blood, probably from a toenail (I hope). She appologized and we laughed it off. I was just careful from that point on not to kick anything in such a way that would bring anything else in direct contact with that toe. From what I understand there's not much I can do about a broken toe except be careful not to reinjure it. BTW, I passed even with a broken/injured toe.

I had my yellow belt test at 7:30 this morning. I'm happy to say I passed. There are four affiliated schools in the area and they hold their test together. There were about 50 people testing. Twenty adults and thirty kids. We went through some standard moves and exercises, then the class was split according to rank and whether you are an adult or child. After we demonstrated that we knew our material for an hour or so, we gathered back together with everyone of similar rank (the higher ranks, blue and up, were still testing), then names were called and certificates/belts issued.
