FOR ME, LOL!

I tested for my orange belt this morning; let me tell you I haven't been as nervous about anything since I took my Leaving Cert (Irish horrible exams at end of high school, the kid you still have anxiety dreamed about when you're 80). Well, I made it through the form ok, but muddled through the rest. I think I did ok; will find out on Monday at the belt ceremony:)

p.s the boys didn't test as Liam only goes to special abilities once a week and Cian was a mess still after his surgery.

I am laughing cause I had JUST found this bit of video the other day. Can't be any worse than this and SHE got her orange belt! Of course we called this guy Master Card cause as long as you paid him he passed you. Finally somewhere around purple belt he realized she didn't know a thing.

BTW, the form she is doing in here, this is like the 4th or 5th time THIS DAY they were doing it (In testing - I know I editted the video. This is the one you can see her most) never mind the 2 months she had been working on it. The other little girl next too her is my friends dd who is a year younger than Cait.

Oh she is the cute clueless blonde, btw. In the first part she is the one right in the center that ends up jogging when the others are kicking, in the second she is in front and hard to see (they moved her up cause she was so lost, lol) She was almost 7 I think at the time.

Enjoy! I am SURE you made it and DID FABULOUS!!!!!

Lol, oh the poor wee thing. My teacher was pitching a fit the other day as he was judge at a local tournament and there were little kids who were supposedly 2nd degree black belts and he argued they shouldn't have even been near the upper ranks. Turned out they all came from the same school, so I guess Master Card lioves there too, lol!

I know in my place they are pretty easy going with the lower ranks (ie: I was so rushed through the one steps before testing I was pretty much walked through them at testing again. ) But then for self defense they sicced 4 higher ranks (all black belt recommended or higher) on me; in that sense I feel I cancelled out the one steps (and the fact I really didn't know them, lol).

Still, I do love to see wee girls kickin' booty:)

I have to video them doing karate now. It is much better this time through though still pretty DARN funny! OMG Cait and sparing is hysterical. The girl has no fear but no coordination so she goes at everyone doing this double hit wiggle thing. Can't wait to see her do her form this time around!

THe Karate we are in they don't do forms until purple belt (ours goes white, yellow, orange then purple) but the kids have to learn their moves in the lower belts. He is pretty easy up to purple belt but if they don't know their forms, hits, kicks, etc by the end of purple belt he does not promote them no matter the age. We have 3 degrees each belt so they have a good 6+ months to learn what they need at each belt.

Oh, Mike's form is hysterical. That boy has this DEEP LOUD Kee-ya that will make you jump. But he has it ALL memorized, lol.
