Got My Yellow Belt!

[theapprentice124]

hey guyz you might have seen my last post "Grandmaster Demura and Me" well it basically says that i have been in shotokan for like 4 weeks now and the first 3 days i trained with grandmaster Demura well happily my sensei told me that he wanted me to test Sat. (last saturday) and i was very happy and excited that i was going to test for my yellow belt. Well i did well, i did my basic punches, kicks, jodan, shodan, and mewashigettis? lol roundhouse kicks, and my first kata Hein Shodan as well as sparring. Well i recived my yellow belt and now i am training to skip the yellow with black strip and just go out for the orange which i believe i only have to know Hein Neidan ?

Congratulations Apprentice! Its Mawashi Geri btw. Did your instructor tell you to train to skip if so you must be doing very well.

Congratulations! Have you done martial arts before this?

[theapprentice124]

no i haven't done this before but my dad use to be in all kinds of MA so he taught me some basics but other than that i just really pay attention at the dojo and practice a lot and yea lol i was wondering y i got my belt so early as well but i dont know i guess he just saw i was ready and its just a yellow belt so its not that many kata's or anything.
