I was really, really nervous, but that is probably due to the fact that it was only my first grading.
It was full of exercise and kick routines and press ups and sit-ups and jumping, spinning roundhouse kicks which I can't do, they must green belt or something.
Any way, sometimes us 4 white belts, sometimes we would sit out while the higher belts graded, and vice versa.
But in the end I passed, and I tell you what they made us (white belts) do.
Okay, white belts, come up here and kneel and close your eyes, do not open them or you could fail your test! (This was after everything else that I just said.)
Everyone else, go sit over there. Connor must have pointed over to the corner where I was sitting ‘cus I heard them all came and kneel next to me.
Okay, open your eyes now.
In front of each of us was a sheet, I had no idea what it was, but it was my grading sheet.
Okay, look behind you, and behind each of us was a yellow belt, we had all passed!
Take you white belts off and put your new belts on and stand up.
Leon and this other guy had got normal yellow belts that had a horizontal white stripe in the middle. Sam, an adult, had got a full yellow belt and he revived tips, which I guess is like bonus point.
Me smiling.I had been given a partial golden belt! This belt is a dark orange, yellow belt, I think it is the highest sub-belt in the yellow belt area, Vinny said that this was like my tips but instead I got this one. This made me feel immensely happy and proud.
So, watch out orange belt, here I come! :)
These pics are of me with my new belt, cool yeah?
:)
Me in a left foot forward fighting stance, keia!
