Twas the night before grading
Less than 24 hours before my Kuk Sool Blue stripe grading. Looking back on the past 7 months (has it already only been that long?) I can see that I have come a long way in my understanding of techniques and forms. I am beginning to feel like a real martial arts practitioner. Still, a large part of me still wonders whether I will be up to the challenge on Saturday. There is still so much that I don’t know. I’m worried that I won’t be able to recall everything that I’ve learned, but I hope that it will be sufficient.
Seriously, I’m getting psyched for this, I’m going to be like Luke Skywalker, letting the Force guide me. If all goes well, then this wonderfully challenging chapter in my Kuk Sool development will come to a close and I can look forward to the next chapter as well as Christmas. Nerves……..never before has the thought of going for a walk just for the heck of it had so much appeal to me. OK, I’m off to bed now.
