Karate

This is me a while ago getting my 5th kyu rank. My next rank test is in a few weeks and I'm not ready. My sensei (teacher)pictured above says 'no excuses - you are married to a black belt'. My husband is a Shihan which is an 'older' teacher. Pray I'll be able to do well on my test. I'm only going for a stripe. One additional kata which would be OK if I hadn't forgotten parts of my already known katas. Have a great day.

Well thanks to God I passed my rank test tonight. I'm now 5th kyu in Shito Ryu karate! It was a hard test as I was rushing and second guessing what I know. I love the kata (forms) and had practiced one ending wrong Yikes. I'm easy to spot the only female. It was so humid my hair was wild by the end of the testing.

Shito-ryu that is.  I'm 6th kyu and testing sometime this month for 5th.  That's half way to a black belt.  I love the kata (forms) the best.  The bad thing is if I have time I'd rather quilt and it's gift time with Christmas around the corner.  So karate isn't getting as much time as it should right now.
