You Are Ready

[kyokushin_coe]

I stood there ready

This is what i trained for

now it all comes down to this

the ultimate test of my skill

the test of my fortitiude

this is were the grits hit the pan.

every muscle in me wants to tense up

i want to hold my breathe

will me techniques be off

will my timing be off

i tell myself you can do it

you are ready

but my guts are churning

i want to throw up.

will i let my instructors down'will i fail

will i forget my katas

the other black belts will be there

i just want this night to be over with

through all the questions , and the nervousness

i still hear one thing

YOU WOULDNT BE HERE IF YOU WERE NOT READY

TRUST YOUR TRAINING

We have all felt that way at one time or another. Nice job.

Respectfully,

Very nicely written. You are ready! If something is forgotten, fake it til you make it.

I feel that way every time I promote.I don't know what it is nerves i guess.It's human nature to second guess yourself
