marie curie Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I had told my instructor that this weekend I'd be getting an mri, and the dr is thinking maybe surgery will be needed, or to stay off of it for a while. Either way, I will be missing our regular belt-testing time. I was kinda bummed, because I wanted to stay up with my training and keep advancing (and not have to wait too long to start learning new stuff)- which is what can happen if you don't test on time). Well, yesterday in class, my instructor told the class that I was going to demonstrate some techniques. As each technique and form he requested was for my next test, I kind of figured out what he was doing, but it was awesome! I was really nervous, because I hadn't prepared, but it turns out that all that practicing really pays off and I remembered everything well Anyway, I am just excited and wanted to tell someone You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothingsShadow Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Well done on your surprise grading.It's good to see that you instructor understands that life it what happens when you begin to make plans. I have had this happen to me as well (not the MRI thing but the grading thing) and I remember feeling the same when I worked out what was going on.Good luck with your MRI.

Isshinryu_heart Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 congrats! My 3rd kyu (brown belt) test was a surprise - however the test was very long and nerve-racking as it was spanned over 2 weeks of classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
