I enjoy when we have a new adult in class. There is such an interesting chain of events that gets people there as an adult. How they find time; how they make a new priority; and how do they find us? If he makes it more than a month I can't wait to here the story. He's at least done some TKD and Judo so he's no neophyte, so it's nice to see him fall into the basic moves.

Daniel Sensei said we've got 6 weeks to go until the test. Generally speaking this is the pinch time where we work out as much of the bugs in our katas as we can. Up to two weeks before the test it's crunch time. To that end we are meeting as much as possible to get things dialed in. At two weeks out they no longer trying to correct actions and just encourage us to keep practice sharp.
This week I think I'm going to be meeting every day, but I think Reed Sensei is getting us particularly squared away because we are going to head up to Eugene to visit with his instructor to have a fake test. This process is to get an objective view of our progress. Albert Sensei should be able to identify anything that we can work on it short order.
All of this work means that I'll be sharper, but it's exhausting. I hope they don't expect this for the next 6 weeks, because my wife will kill me and I'll never get anything done around the house.

Maia was particularly sharp last night. Our little brownbelt helped the new guy and me through variations on takedowns last night. Unfortunately, leaving me a bit bruised and sore this morning. She's going to be a good instructor possibly one day.
