Green belt test.

Last Saturday we had another belt test(we don't get these very often), And I, Jack, a little dude named Vince and my sister,(Did Johnna too?...can't remember) all tested for out green belts.
You're probably thinking "Wait! what happened to Yellow belt? did they get that before Orange?" Actually, in our Dojang, Orange belt comes before Yellow(I don't know why, don't ask) And we double-tested, so basically we skipped Yellow belt because we knew all of the required stuff for Green. First off we had several strikes and kicks to do, like the 360 roundhouse(tornado kick) and the Spinning hook kick, which all of us had been practicing......but only with our right leg.....so that looked real bad when we had to kick from a left fighting stance....heh..

We also had Board breaking, I seriously thought we'd have to break more than we did, We had to break 1-2 boards with a Forward Back fist and another 1-2 with a spinning back kick(which I'm not very accurate with...) Jack had a little problem with the forward back fist(Probably because we never really used it before) but she hung in there and broke it after a couple more tries.

After that(or was it before....hmm..) we had Sparring, this is where we put on boxing gloves and padded helmets and get to show out skill at using the moves we've learned, Jack got to go against Heather(Who either is a prison guard or teaches boxing at the women's prison, I can never remember)anyway, they both did really good(especially since we don't spar much either) I got to go against my sister, that was really fun, I just kept blocking whatever she threw(every now and then she hit me) Then I got to spar with the Master at the school, I took a good couple of kicks to the head(one of which ended the match) and a sweet bruise on my arm the next day, but I happened to do a spinning back kick while he was doing a jumping kick and put him on the floor, so I think i did okay.

Then at the end he gives out a belt to those who made it(Which was everyone since he won't let you test if he doesn't think you're ready). He actually didn't have all the belts there so my sister and Jack don't get their belts until...today. But we made it, and now that we're at an Intermediate level we get to learn all kinds of new stuff, but we don't get to make as many mistakes as we did when we were still Orange.

I think that's all,
Party on world!
Nin!
