Training Journal

A journal of my martial arts training

Tonight was a testing night. The entire session was administered in Japanese, reminding me of the time I tested for my 4th kyu (1st purple) with my original Shotokan school (and did not pass). Fortunately for me, tonight’s test, though in Japanese, was a little more forgiving. I earned my Shorin Ryu green belt (7th kyu, I think), recognizing that I have learned Naihanchi, Seisan, and Shihone Nuke, as well as demonstrating all my techniques well.
