Yikes!

I completed the first half of my brown stripe test last week, thursday is going to be the second half, and I'm really nervous!

I think that it will consist of free sparing, kata, and philosophy.

The philosophy is realy hard, 27 sets of different concepts that I have to have memorized.

For example:

5 firsts for friendship

communicate

smile

care

share

forgive

5 sources of power

mind

body

spirit

soul

ki

I guess they start adding up :)

Well wish me luck! :karate:

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, a spirit of power, and of self-discipline.

Good luck! I'm sure you will be fine. :)

Are all your testings done in two parts or is it just this one?

Not all of them.Up untill green belt the tests lasted about 1 1/2 hours. It looks like from now on the tests are going to be longer.

Just my luck! I've got the flu, so I'm missing my test at the moment :(

Sorry to hear that. :( Get well soon!

Will you have another opportunity to do your test soon or will you have to wait a while?

Too bad about the flu! I just am getting over something of the kind. Regarding the philosophy... I guess this is a little late... but what I did was make a tape recording of all of that with some nice music in the background, and I just listen to it over, and over, and over, and over. You can do it in the car, at work, at home, wherever.

It *is* a lot. I'm not waiting until green belt to get it in my noggin!

I am testing for 2d green stipe on Monday... My kid is testing for 1st purple on Tuesday... then I leave for Training Camp that night. Woo hoo!

White belt mind. Black belt heart.

Rejoice and be glad!
