Class 2007/11/14 (Wed)

The warm-up was energetic today, with shield kicking and rounds of punching. I think I did pretty good, in fact perhaps a shade better than my cohorts Brian and Edgar. It is very unusual for me and so I'm pleased. But I have a terrible secret: I'm going to be sick tomorrow. It was very bad after the last class on Saturday, I spent the Sunday semi-conscious. The onset of headaches begins about 6 hours after the class, nausea usually follows.

Yellow Belt

I received my Yellow Belt today. The test was a disaster, frankly, so this is more of an acknowledgement of my progress than my knowledge of the curriculum. I especially need to know my wrist releases, and Pol Gae 1. But the rest was far from ideal too.

Another thing, I was so swamped with the homework and just work that I started slacking, coming once a week sometimes. I figured that it was going to get better in January.
