I got another message from class - My fitness extends to kicking drills and then I'm starting to tap out. I was told today by Keith that the process goes Basics then kicking drills, then self defense, then breaking, then endurance (120 punches in 30 seconds) and then forms. Holy cow! I was gassing at the end of the kicks. Granted I'm not great at them which means that I'm working harder than necessary, but over all pretty tiring.
Colette sent me a message yesterday asking if I was going to participate in the Friday evening pre-evaluation for potential black-belts. I didn't even know what it was. As far as I can tell, they run through the test to see what areas to work on. On top of that I'm not sure if they wanted to me to show up at the school or do something via zoom. I'm really not great at interpreting stuff via text or email apparently. In the end I don't think I'm even ready to do the eval because I can't understand the words for stuff just yet. Keith said I should be ready by March. I'll take him on his word there.
He and a couple of others will travel down to Camus tomorrow evening and take their tests while we can watch via zoom! Pretty exciting stuff. At least I can see the protocol and all that.
I've come to find that being the morning zombie class of one is rewarding, but keeping up with the school is tough. I feel like I'm missing a lot.
