Well on saturday I passed my first Aikido grading, now a yellow belt (long way to go to the Black, but who cares its the learning thats the main thing) I am aching all over from the four hours of seminars prior to the grading and only just starting to recover which Im sure will be put back tommrrow when I go to class to start training for my Orange belt! rather happy right now!
Well Done we all had to start somewhere...... thats exactly how i feel after a grading...... wait for the ribbing you will get it normally goes something like this ' look at his new belt its all clean and rigid cant we tell who has just graded' haha
I had my whole club watching me grade so they know all too well! thankfully we use second hand belts so any newbies coming into the club won't know Ive recently graded ;-)
KUDOS on the idea of the belts... i always want to hang onto my belts to show them off you have earned them so display those bad boys with honor...
Congratulations! Every grading is a step towards SUPERHUMAN KUNG-FU POWER! And in the end, isn't that what we all want?
Congrats mate, passed my yellow belt grading for TKD on Thursday. I got a lovely certificate too. Well done again. Baza
Superb stuff milady, congrats! How did your shoulder injury affect the grading (if it did at all)? Good stuff dude, well done to you as well! Both of you need a cookie methinks: Spoiler Lol, I jest. Here you go for real this time:
Thankfully only needed to half roll for the grading so didn't affect that thankfully. Was a bit awkward going during the earlier classes, but got through.
