In a couple of hours, I'll be testing for my next stripe (purple) on my long road to 2nd Dan.
Six months ago I took my last test for green stripe. I passed, but it wasn't my bext performace. At the time, I was feeling a bit ill, so I wasn't at the top of my game.
However, today I'm feeling 100% and ready to kill it.
good luck. i'm having a test for my students on thursday. 4 kids, all very talented, but still remain white/yellow belts because they had missed a bunch of class. looking forward to giving new belt to them.
