Karate Grading

On Saturday i went to my last Karate grading for a while (with my new job in Sydney I won't be able to make it back to Karate in time). The grading wasn't too bad, the worst part was when I had to do the Kata by myself, twice! I don't mind Kata, i just hate doing it by myself when everyone is watching you.

The ground fighting was the most fun part, i largely suck at ground fightinjg (i pretty much always loose). But it is always fun to TRY and win, for me that mostly involves trying to rip the other persons head off.

The sparring which i mostly enjoy didn't go for heaps long, there were probably only about half a dozen rounds, although those few were tireing enough.


At the end of the day i managed to obtain my first black stripe (Brown Belt, with 1 black stripe), Jo also got her first black stripe and Kirsty got her first Dan.
