Karate Chop Go!

[sharplittleteeth]

On Saturday, my sensei posted a list of the candidates for the next grading. My name wasn't on the list. I had a polite word with him last night, and now it is.

:)

This is a significant grading: I'll be going for my Advanced Yellow belt. Which in Seido school is the belt at which you start sparring.

I'm very excited. I mean, I'll suck horribly at it, and I'll end up covered in bruises. But this is why I took up karate: I want to do more than just punch and kick the air.

For my last grading, I invited my family along.This time I thought I'd invite my friends along too. And so...


An Invitation To My Friends:

Want to come watch me prance around in white pyjamas? Want to watch blackbelts whack me in the stomach while I do sit-ups? Want to see a room full of grown people yell in Japanese?

Then come to my grading!

Date: Saturday, 20 December
Time: 12 noon until about 2pm. (Try and get there 10 minutes early)
Place: Seido Karate Melbourne, 439 Swan St. Richmond. www.seidomelbourne.com.au


Seriously, though - my karate means a lot to me, and I'd love to be able to share this with some of you.
